It's been a journey. 100 episodes. In this milestone episode, it goes back to the beginning, with Gaby, the German paddler who was featured on Episode One of the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast. Over the past 100 episodes, hosts Joe Friedrichs and Matthew Baxley have learned so much about the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park. This learning has come, largely, through the stories shared by those who've appeared on the podcast. That learning continues in a deep way with Gaby's return to the podcast. Also featured in this episode is Rick Slatten, the captain of the St. Louis County Rescue Squad. Slatten also appeared on Episode 91 of the podcast, talking with Joe about a capsizing event from May 2023 where the podcast duo faced their most intense experience in the BWCA.

Episode 52: Tom Thomson Remembered: Anniversary Special Given that it is the anniversary this week of Tom Thomson's disappearance and ultimate death 106 years ago, I thought it would fun to take Algonquin Defining Moments in a slightly different direction. Published two years ago by Deryck N. Robertson from Paddler Press in Peterborough, Ontario, Canoe Lake Memories is a book of poetry with reflections on Thomson, Canoe Lake and of course fishing and water. In addition are some great paintings, which I have posted on my www.algonquinparkheritage.com website. So for this episode, it's best to find a relaxing spot in nature along with your favourite libation, assume your mindfulness pose and view the episode as a meditation of sorts. For each piece, I'll introduce a bit about the writer so as to provide a bit of context. I've also included my 3 favorite Tom Thomson songs from Ian Tamblyn including 'Down at Tea Lake Dam' My Heart Belongs to the Northland in Spring' and 'Brush and Paddle' from his Walking in the Footsteps CD. Also special thanks to Deryck N. Robertson Editor-in-Chief at Paddler Press. The book Canoe Lake Memories can be found on www.paddlerpress.ca Enjoy!!!

Emily Haavik is a Twin Cities based journalist and musician who has a deep love for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Emily and her husband, Phil, chose the BWCA as the setting for their honeymoon in September 2020, for example. The couple also got engaged in the canoe-country wilderness in 2019 on Rose Lake. Emily grew up in Duluth and has been coming to the Boundary Waters for most of her life. Phil grew up in Des Moines, making his first trip to the BWCA in 2001 with a group of scouts. Those early trips were the foundation for a spirited passion for wilderness for both Emily and Phil, particularly the portages, rivers, lakes and forest of the BWCA. Emily and Phil share more on their story in this episode of the podcast. Also featured in this episode is a familiar voice on the podcast, Aubrey Helmuth-Miller.

Episode 29: The Wildlife Research Station - The Early Years Park Superintendent Frank MacDougall was the force behind much of the early efforts to increase public awareness of the importance of ecology and to do so on a scientific basis. After the success of the Harkness Laboratory for Fisheries, in 1944, he pushed for the establishment of a Wildlife Research Station that would focus on terrestrial i.e. land-based ecosystems. In this episode, I share the history of the early years of Algonquin Park's Wildlife Research Station and provide some insight into the characters of the people who were directly involved. In addition to my own research for my books, most of the content comes from a number of key sources including: Rory MacKay's 2018 Algonquin Park A Place Like No Other Norm Quinn's 2002 Algonquin Wildlife Lessons in Survival George Warecki's recent books on J. R. Dymond (2019) and Douglas Pimlott (2021). George Garland's 1989 Glimpses of Algonquin Various articles in The Best of the Raven newsletters Volumes 1 to 3 as well as those from 2010-2021 that are available on-line And of course the Wildlife Research Station official web site and selected published research papers and abstracts. This episode's musical interlude is another wonderful song from Ian Tamblyn called Woodsmoke and Oranges from his 2007 CD Superior: Spirit and Light.

Episode 28: Don Lloyd, Algonquin's Renaissance Man - an Interview with grandson Mathew Thivierge Don Lloyd, who died in 2013, is I think the closest that Algonquin Park has come, to creating a true Algonquin Park Renaissance man. Don wasn't just an Algonquin Park wildlife and landscape illustrator, he also turns out to have been also been a geography teacher, a receiver of a Bachelors, Masters and PhD in Geography, an author of two important Algonquin books, a board game designer, a children's book creator as well as an avid Algonquin Park canoe tripper, birder, wood carver. He was a long time Canoe Lake leaseholder, Algonquin Park Residents Association activist and Friends of Algonquin Park board member in its early years. In 2011 he received their Director's Award, which honors those who have made significant contributions toward the appreciation of Algonquin Park.

Episode 19: Tom Thomson as a Myth and Legend This is the last of a three-part series on the life, the body, and the legend of Canada's artist icon Tom Thomson. In this episode, I will focus on the mythology that that evolved around Thomson from the 1940s to today. Then, I'll try to address the legend by assembling the thoughts on the subject by three great writers Roy MacGregor, Sherrill Grace, and Gregory Klages. The idea is to try to understand why our imaginations and reinventions of who he was have become such a part of the Canadian national identity. Lastly, I'll share, as a long-time Canoe Lake resident with a wink and a nudge, my ‘Inventing Thomson' contribution.

Over the next few days, chaos and confusion seemed to have reined on Canoe Lake. This is the second of a three-part series on the life, the body, and the legend of Canada's artistic icon Tom Thomson.

Episode 17: Tom Thomson's Art and his Introduction to Algonquin Park On Sunday July 8th a little over 104 years ago, Tom Thomson was wearing 'khaki trousers, white canvas shoes, a lumberman's grey woolen shirt and no hat' as he headed off south down Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park. According to the Algonquin Park weather station, the average temperature that day was 16.4 degrees Celsius and about a centimeter and a half of rain had fallen. As all good outdoorsmen do, Tom likely had checked to make sure his spare portaging paddle and a little food were properly tied in place, his tackle box and his sketching outfit were beside him and his trolling line set before he pushed off the dock that dull and wet day. Unfortunately, that would be the last time that Tom Thomson was ever seen or heard from again. This is the first of a three-part series on the life, the body and the legend of Canada's artistic icon Tom Thomson. In Part 1, I focus mostly on his time in Algonquin Park, some of the people he met, mostly on his journey as an artist.

Winter camping continues to be a favorite activity for the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast team. In February 2021, Matthew Baxley and Joe Friedrichs took a TV news team from Duluth for a trip to the BWCA. Alex Laitala and Dan Wolfe from KBJR joined the podcast duo for a trip to the far eastern reaches of the designated wilderness. Temperatures dropped to 10-below zero and Matthew shares a report from the wilderness along with added reflection from a memorable trip. Also in this episode, podcast contributor Lindsey Gau talks with Ty Olson about his epic and important journey through the Boundary Waters and other border lakes. Ty traveled more than 270 miles over 27 days in February and March across the border lakes of Minnesota and Ontario. He called his journey ‘Ski For Fire’ and he did the trip to raise money for firewood for the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Lindsey sat down to talk with Ty just moments after his trip ended on the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Portage. The March sun is slowly melting the surface of some lakes in the BWCA. The season of change nears. A special thanks to Claire Campbell and Ian Tamblyn for their musical contributions to this episode.

The wilderness, and the Boundary Waters in particular, are widely considered a place for personal reflection. Certainly there are many aspects that appeal to recreational enthusiasts who visit the Boundary Waters, including fishing, camping, paddling, hiking and simply the notion of ‘getting away from it all.’ At the heart of wilderness, however, lies something deeper. In this episode of the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast, we hear the story of Erik Dickes from Omaha, Nebraska. Erik made plans with his father in 2018 to paddle in the BWCA. It was to be the first and long-anticipated trip to the Boundary Waters for both of them. After losing a battle with cancer in the fall of 2018, Erik’s father never made it to Minnesota and put his paddle in a Boundary Waters lake. Determined to follow through on a trip to canoe country, Erik and his friend Johnny completed a week-long trip to the BWCA in May 2019. With his father in the forefront of his mind, Erik recorded part of his trip in an audio diary that is shared on this episode of the podcast. Also featured in this episode is an interview with outdoor writer and journalist Stephanie Pearson. Stephanie is a contributing editor to Outside magazine. Her stories have also appeared in The New York Times Magazine and other publications. In May 2019, Stephanie published an article in Outside titled “The Uncertain Future of the Boundary Waters.” She discusses the focus of this article on the podcast, as well as her personal connections and history in the Boundary Waters. At the end of episode 18, a supporter and listener of the podcast, Chelsea Lloyd, shares a musical gift by covering Ian Tamblyn’s “Campfire Light.” Tamblyn’s tune is the theme song of the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast.
