Apparent rock shortage in canoe country

Thomas Wahlstrom, a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officer at Tofte focused his enforcement action in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness this past week, along with other area officers.

“Many groups were checked, with a wide array of equipment,” Wahlstrom wrote in his weekly report. “The most interesting piece of gear that was lugged across a portage was a large rock with a rope tied to it for an anchor to be used later in the trip.”
