The Scariest Thing in the Forest
Posted by Scott Stowell on May 03, 2020 | Add new comment
Renowned fairy tales recently played into a trip my wife, husky and I made to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Our Yellow Brick Road to the entry point was mostly gravel. It was also devoid of lions and tigers, but bears were evident. Dollops of bear scat traversed the road, even on the paved parts. So, in a Hansel and Gretel sort of way, we followed the droppings through the twisting forest trail to our destination.
Wilderness is the very definition of social distance. In these pandemic times, wilderness might be one of the safest places to reside.
