6/14/15 – We have been experiencing some lovely weather here in the north woods. Temperatures in the last week have been in the upper 60s to low 70s – perfect canoeing weather. All the rain we got earlier in the season is paying off; the woods are lush and green and flowers are starting to bloom in earnest. “When the weather is like this,” said one returning customer, “it’s hard to leave.”

A good tip for future trip planning, Sawbill keeps a record of each day’s weather, with records stretching back to 1997. This is an excellent resource for deciding when to come to the BWCA. Wondering what the weather will be like mid-July? You can see the average temperature for the last 19 years.
Last week, the Sawbill crew had its first Festive Dinner, held at 9:15 pm after everyone gets off work, so we can all eat together and fully enjoy each others company. The theme? Wild, Wild West! A good time was had by all. Yeehaw! – Elena
