8/10/07 – Most of the people that come through Sawbill to be outfitted are setting out on canoe trips with at least one other person, often many other people. Some, however, choose to take on a solo trip in which they rely wholly on their own strength and experience. Scott Sorenson, a music teacher from Michigan, recently returned from a 25-day solo trip. He covered territory in both the BWCA and the Quetico. He arrived back at Sawbill in great spirits and 15 lbs lighter than when he left. He also collected some great stories including one involving a trio of wolves feasting on a moose! These solo trips are nothing new to Scott, and next year he hopes to travel through not only the BWCA and the Quetico, but also the Voyageurs park. – Caitlin

Scott points out the extent of his route which reached beyond the scope of Sawbill’s maps.
