As many people have found out, the RouteFinder, for the most part, does not go through Primitive Management Areas (PMAs) in the Boundary Waters. The reason for this is that the travel is much more difficult and time-consuming than regular paddling and portaging. The RouteFinder would be severly underestimating the time it takes to get through a PMA.

However, I can put in routes through PMAs if you can tell me how long it took to get through it, relatively speaking. What I mean is that if it would normally take you 3 hours to do a section of "normal" river, and going through the PMA's river took 9 hours, then it took about 3 times as long. I need the same information for the portages along the route. Lakes in PMAs, of course, are the same as regular lakes, it just takes a lot more work to get to them.

I have a few PMA routes mapped already, but the most popular ones to try to route, it seems, are the routes through the Sundial Lake PMA, specifically the Beartrap-Sunday-Crooked and Nibon-Bibon-Sterling routes. I do not yet have information on these routes, and I think I am missing a portage from Beartrap to the Beartrap River. If anyone can provide me information on these or other PMA routes, I would greatly appreciate it.
