Steven: Thanks for responding. I think you may be mistaken about aircraft being banned on border lakes. Time was, we had Bill Magie from Ely and others from Crane Lake dropping people into lakes in what is now the BWCA. Perko's had a resort on Crooked Lake, base camps were on Basswood, LaCroix, Knife, Fourtown and other lakes. They brought tourists into these resorts and camps, plus supplies to keep the camps operating. They have been banned from landing and taking off on lakes now withing the BWCA. Question is...why is the government allowed to ruin people's wilderness experiences, while outfitters using float planes cannot? Double standard and hypocrisy?
