Stop the whining and start mining! Steve makes so much more sense than Reid. I go to Ely a few times a year. A trip to the used bookstore, and lunch at the Ely Steakhouse is about it. Ely is a dead zone in the winter. I avoid going there in the summer on weekends due to traffic. The BWCAW gets approximately 150 thousand visitors a year ( far less than in the past),and that numberincludes locals, and folks that enter from all entry points. Most visitors that travel to the area have purchased everything they need before they get here. They may buy a meal or some gasoline. Ely will be booming again, and not because of retirees relocating. Remember folks: If it's not grown, it's mined!
