Ouch! This won't affect me personally, since I drive across the border before launching; however, it will probably affect anyone who wants to enter the Quetico from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I just hope the authorities don't insist on searching through my kayak and camping gear each time I cross, though. I wonder how it will affect cross-country skiers on the border? Years ago when I stayed at Gunflint Lodge with the North Star Ski Touring Club, we thought nothing of skiing across Gunflint Lake to ski a trail on the Canadian side of the lake. Of course, skiers not being boaters -- even though they can travel over water -- maybe the new regulation doesn't apply to them -- yet.
