Fire Update Friday May 11th

So sorry about not updating the blog yesterday but it has been a crazy 24 hours. For now, we are still in the lodge and watching the fire situation closely. The Gunflint Trail is closed and evacuated from the Poplar Lake Fire House to the end of the Trail. If you know the Gunflint Trail, the Poplar Lake Fire House a little before Trail Center Restaurant and has the large Smoky the Bear sign on the left.

We are on a cautionary evacatuation status, meaning watch closely and listen to the radio. It all depends upon the weather now. Not to minimize the fantastic fire fighting crews up here - they are great and everyone from around the country, county, city and wilderness has responded to the call for help to fight this fire.

All BWCA Entry points are closed for now. Even the areas not effected by the fire on the Sawbill Trail, Gunflint Trail and Arrowhead trail are closed. We will keep you updated as things change.

Thanks for all the concern expressed!
