This is one reason I really love Chris Watson's recordings. He just

This was my first time. I'd been to Sylvania (in the U.P. of
Michigan) and Turtle Flambeau (Wisconsin) previously, but there's no
comparison. The week I was in Sylvania, there was an aerobatics
championship taking place at the Watersmeet airport. At Turtle
Flambeau I kept getting invaded by martini barges equipped w/
500-watt subwoofers and screaming kids. So I plan to go back to BWCA
as often as I can.
