Отрывок из книги

A book like this could never have been written without the help and encouragement of many people. Foremost are those with whom I have paddled during these many years. While I stepped off portage trails, paused to take notes, backtracked on lakes to seek a desired photograph, or paddled and portaged out of the way to investigate some unknown territory, the patience of my companions was (and still is) certainly appreciated.

Long before the idea for this book ever entered my head, my father, the Scoutmaster, introduced me to the joys of camping experiences while my mother, the English teacher, always encouraged me to write about those experiences. Throughout the years since the publication of my first book in 1978, U.S. Forest Service personnel were quite helpful in answering my questions and supplying statistical data included in this and previous editions.

Summaries follow but take time to make sure all members of your group are aware of the regulations and the consequences for not following them.

PERMITS: You must enter the BWCAW at the entry point and on the entry date shown on your permit. Expired permits cannot be used on different dates and you may not re-enter on a different date using the same permit. Permits become invalid when the trip leader leaves the wilderness.
