Trips: Seagull Lake and Saganaga Lake, Cache Bay
Monday, February 23rd, 2009submitted by: Bob Evans
Our Northwoods Pictograph project is based on our commitment to revisit every pictograph site seen in the past and visit those we have not yet seen. On our first trip in 2007, we visited 13 sites through 4 entry points in Quetico and two entry points in the Boundary Waters. This trip consisted of four individual trips of one or more nights and two day trips of a few hours each. In this report on the first part of the trip, I will cover the day trip to the Sea Gull Lake pictograph site (in the BWCA) and the overnight trip to the Cache Bay site across the Canadian borderOrder Cache Bay and Seagull Lake Bulletins.

I also provide some information for future paddlers or those interested in simple trips, pictures of the Cache Bay Ranger Station, a video clip of the Quetico sea plane resupplying the Cache Bay Ranger station, and the account of a completely unexpected and exciting encounter with a group of paddlers who reported a new petroglyph site.
