Some days are very special, like the day we went to the pictographs on Hegman. It was cool and misty but not cold. There was no wind, no frostbite, no sunburn. It was gray but everyone we met was clearly pleased to be paddling on such a comfortable day. My solo canoe glided through the water like a well designed craft should. It covered the couple miles from the landing to the cliff where the pictographs were located in about an hour, including portages. Kris and Rich followed in their kayaks. We were able to spend a 1/2 hour at the cliff by ourselves, it was really cool. The images were reminders that people have considered the BWCA a special place long before I discovered it 40 some years ago. We did some exploring on the way back and checked out a portage and some cool rocks. It was an excellent day trip.
