There are enough stories, news, and information happening on the Ely side of the Boundary Waters on any given day to produce an episode of this podcast. And while that might happen at some point down the road, let's start with this midseason update from the canoe capital of the world. 

To kick things off, we hear from Mark Zimmer, the Barefoot Paddler of the Boundary Waters. 

Also in this we hear from Nancy Scheibe, an Ely artist who is leading a project to paint a mural of Sig Olson this summer. 

We cap the episode with a conversation with the new director the Listening Point Foundation, Kathleen Floberg. 

This episode is supported by Sawtooth Outfitters, Ely Outfitting Company, and City Cast Twin Cities.
