Mona, AKA Woodswoman, led her first trip to the BWCA in August of 1983. At that time, she was a recent college graduate with limited resources and made do with gear and equipment that was available. Inspired by the peace, beauty, adventure, and challenge of the BWCA, she vowed to return. And she did.
In 2000 she established a small trip coordination business, MSB Wilderness Adventures, which is focused on introducing the BWCA to adventurous souls who seek wilderness experience but want a little extra guidance. In 2025 she completed a 200-mile solo trip (her first solo) and led her 70th BWCA trip. |

Give Your Dreams the Wings to Fly
Algonquin - main floor Sat 3:30pm-4:15pm
A goal is only a dream if there is no action plan. This 24-year dream finally sprouted wings enabling a 65-year-old paddler to embark on her first solo canoe trip. A 200+ mile BWCAW trip from Crane Lake to Lake Superior following the Canadian/US border to Fort Charlotte, ending with the 8.5-mile Grand Portage. Did she finish? Details will be shared regarding planning/preparation, gear, food, logistics, lessons learned, and trip data.
