Had a nice, short trip to the Cross River/Long Island Lake area of the BWCAW over Labor Day with Katie and Lola.

All the trip photos.

Details, details to follow… Certainly a unique trip for me. I feel good.

To the BWCAW we go

Woohoo. Reserved a permit for Cross Bay Lake for August 29. Just a short Labor Day weekend trip with my wife and my dog. It will be some much-need quality time after one of the craziest summers in memory. It will also be our first trip in the Gunflint Trail area in several years.

New newsletter

We just printed our first newsletter since I started at the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. In members’ mailboxes soon, but available immediately as a PDF here.

If that wasn’t it, I don’t know what is.

Turned my brain off for a few days on a lake up north.

What I need?

Going here for the weekend.

I got a new job!

“Good Times” bumper sticker

Greg — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:54:24 +0000

I whipped together a bumper sticker with some of the standard National Park Service icons for some of my favorite outdoors activities today. It features canoeing, cross-country skiing, backpacking/hiking, campfire, and campground/tent.

You can buy your own for a measly $5.00.

Kinnickinnic River on Google Maps

Greg — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 21:51:22 +0000

I finally finished a little project I’ve been working on for too long. A while ago, I launched the new Web site for the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust, a great conservation group working to protect the Kinni, a great trout river.

The new interactive map is my favorite part of the site. Using Google Maps embedded on the site, visitors can see all the many public access points, with photos and additional information available for each site. If I may say so, it seems like just the kind of thing that an environmental non-profit should use this sort of technology to do.

The map will also hopefully serve as a proof-of-concept for use on some future projects, including one on the horizon that will be used to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers act and my beloved St. Croix’s place as one of the inaugural eight rivers protected as part of the Act. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, go find an access point to explore when the icy weather loosens its grip.
