Great video Dane! We have camped on Jordan several times, the highlight was a stormy night with two wolfs pack howling back and forth when the storms paused. Hope your wife’s solo went well! So nice meeting you at Trails Ends Campground !

[@DaneCordes]

That's wild! Great meeting ya'll too. She survived and had a good time. I'll try to get that video done this weekend. These vids are a good way for me to keep my stored data down, and they're fun to reminisce on years later. Til' our paths cross again.

Thank you for your video, not able to go to Bwca this year. Binge watching videos

[@DaneCordes]

Well, I hope you get back up there next summer! Winter might be awesome too...but I'd need to invest in wayyy different gear.

Just found y'alls channel and it's great! Thanks for sharing! Yea, if you don't wanna fish and just wanna chill in your hammocks, have at it, to each their own! Keep it up and can't wait to see more stuff from ya!

Someday I'll get back into 🎣!

Do you recall the location or campsite number on Jordan lake with the beach and stairs to the kitchen? Planning a trip June 2024. Thanks

[@DaneCordes]

The site we stayed at was 1203 (on BWCA.com & Paddle Planner). Site 1201 looked very nice and secluded as well! Site 1202 was average. Be sure to locate the pictographs in the narrows towards Ima Lake while you're there. They're faint, but still cool. Have fun!

Compared to other areas you’ve been to, how would you rate this trip? Trying to plan for next year and I want to do something new. I’ve only been on granite river route.

I'd say this was middle of the road for us. We seek out places with good swimming, hammocking, and "froggin' & fishin'" aka clean shallows for the dog to stay busy but safe. The Jordan Lake site was pretty awesome. It is a bit of a turn off entering/exiting the park via a lake that motor boats are allowed, but such is life. How many days, how much effort, and what kind of trip (relaxing, fishing, site-seeing, etc) are you looking to have? We'd be happy to make some recommendations.

@@mandyaugustin took the wife on hey first trip and she gave some “requirements” for the next one. We are definitely hammock campers and she loves a good camp with a beach front. Short portages are preferred (less than 75 rod) and some cool things to explore.

[@DaneCordes]

@@philsantillan Let me think about this for a bit and I'll come up with something! In the meantime, I learned so much from the Tumblehome Podcast. You should check it out! It takes 10 or so episodes before they really hit their stride. tumblehomepodcast.com/ Erik from Tumblehome also posted a bunch of campsite pics w/ grades on the Clearwater Lodge website. clearwaterhistoriclodge.com/campsites/

[@philsantillan]

Ooo…didn’t know about this website. I listen to their podcast but never went to the Clearwater site. Just listened to them while working out 😂
