First, thanks for all the great responses. I had narrowed my decision down
to VNP, and all your answers confirmed that decision. I think if I ever
choose to go to BWCA, it will be in a canoe. Keith, it sounds like we might
be in the area you were in last year and at about the same time. I was
looking at the last two weeks of September, and tentatively looking at doing
two trips in Namakan Lake--one to Kettle Falls and another along the south
shore to the narrows where there are supposed to be some pictographs. Where
are the Wolf Pack Islands? I will definitely take you up on the GPS
waypoints. Please send them my way. The sandy beaches sound nice, although
rocky ones don't bother me too much (we paddle Feathercrafts).

Richard, thanks for the invitation. I'm still early in the planning, but if
a trip to Thunder Bay fits, we might consider it. Patrick's comments about
Rainy Lake intrigue me, too. Which portions do you recommend? A couple of
people mentioned hiking, which is alway good in my book. Where are the good
trails?

Thanks again for the info,

Steve M
