4/3/17 – We welcome the month of April along with the arrival of our good friend and first crew member of the season. Jesse Bergeson has a vast background of hands-on Wilderness conservation work throughout Montana and Idaho. Jesse was introduced to the BWCAW by his grandfather. We are excited to have such an experienced Wilderness traveler and advocate join our crew!

For his first day, Huckleberry trained Jesse in proper ice auger technique. Jesse and Huck report that the ice is 24 inches thick with an inch of slush on top.
