Autorenporträt

Robert Beymer has been a frequent visitor to the Boundary Waters Cano Area Wilderness for the past 40 years, and was a canoe trip guide for seven summers at a private camp near Ely. He and his wife, Cheryl, have lived on the edge of the wilderness since 1984. Their home serves as a convenient starting point for day trips by canoe, as well as on foot, snowshoes, and cross-country skis. In addition to his two volume guide to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Bob has written three other books about the Quetico-Superior region of northeastern Minnesota and Ontario. His articles have appeared in numerous outdoor magazines, including Boundary Waters Journal, Silent Sports Magazine, Camping Journal, and Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine. When the muse screaming in his ear was too loud to ignore, Louis Dzierzak walked away from a successful advertising career to become a full-time freelance writer. He's written about issues and trends in outdoor recreation for over a decade. Lou firmly believes that paddling in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is the best way to recover from constant publishing deadlines.
