Chasing Yesterday pt. 3 | BWCA 2020

June 2020: The summer of lockdown. With so much change in the world, two friends and I set out to get back to basics and enjoy the simpler things in life, such as food, water, sun, fish, and sleep. We decided to head back to the Knife Lake area to explore some old places and some new ones as well. This trip turned into one of my favorites, and it worked perfectly to ease our minds. Though it was only a short time, the effects have been long-lasting.
Part 3 takes us on a day trip to Lunar Lake and Lake of the Clouds -- long awaited destinations of mine. Along the way, we enjoyed the magnificent Cherry cliffs, which were on display with some glorious sunlight, much appreciated after the inclement weather from the previous day. This day was full of adventure and rugged beauty, and marks another very memorable experience in the Boundary Waters.

Dude, when are you going to do your video on your May/June trip from 2022? My son and I passed you guys near cattyman Falls area and spoke for a bit. I think you guys stayed on ashigan and we went on to Ensign. Really enjoy your videos, keep them up, please!

I haven't forgotten Josh!! I just watched some footage from that trip the other night. Admittedly, I haven't been in the editing mood for over a year, lol. I wanted to step up my game and make the videos more timed with music, smoother transitions and whatnot, but I think the idea of having to put more time into it than I already did has caused me to not want to invest any time at all. Maybe I will stick to my old ways to get the 2021 trips out there, and along the way upgrade my techniques in baby steps. I appreciate the push... I probably won't get the '22 trips out until this fall, if I'm being honest, as I'm moving back into my house hopefully next month and then I have a _lot_ to do there, plus upcoming spring/summer trips. But we'll get there! Thanks again for saying hi. I loved your canoe by the way. Are you doing any trips this year?

[@joshdaily1964]

I totally get it man! Life gets busy quick. I usually do a 15 or 20 minute long video of our trips and share them with our friends and family on Facebook, and it usually takes me a full year to get around to editing and posting and downloading. I think your videos are edited just fine! I have two trips planned and booked for this summer. One is early June the other is early August. Most likely we will just go to the one in August and make it a long 7 to 10 day trip. Planning on going from Seagull , through Ogish and turn east and come out at ham lake. I can tell with no doubt you do actually remember meeting us because I recall you commenting on our canoe.😂😊. Good memory! Happy paddling!

@@joshdaily1964 Well thank you for liking the videos! I think the cuts and transitions could use some work but thanks. I've wanted to do a route like the Seagull one for a while! I would definitely want 9-10 days to do it as well especially if you pushed west to Kekekabic before heading south. Thanks again Josh, happy paddling to you as well.
