The end of the day on Disappointment Lake. It had rained and been miserable all day. An hour before sundown, voila!

jon,

the rock slab does pretty much run up to the tent pads, but it's on the south side of the lake. It's camp site 49. Look here.
jon 02/21/2008 09:17PM
hey jimi...is that the site that is one rock slab from the water angled up to the tent pads? west side?

My campsite on Boot Lake was amazingly huge and there were a couple of neat little trees growing out of the rocks. I love the beauty of contradictions!

this was a hard one--i have enought summer days photos to fill
a book--smimmming--fishing--laying around camp...
but i think this really sums up what i love about canoe tripping.
going north on Agnes Lake,light breeze at my back,shorelineing
the "long point"..the blue of the big open sky and water..
and best of all only five out on a fourteen day trip!!! and --yes--i went under that overhanging tree..i always try to.

Yeah...a little vague. LOL! The area in your picture sure looks familiar. Thanks for posting it!
Brianw 02/15/2008 12:51PM
pretty vague I know
Brianw 02/15/2008 12:43PM
Its very possible, I try to pay attention to portages on the map, anything else was sight seeing and relaxation. Point me... I'm gone. I know we started from some southern islands off of Lac Lacroix and curled to the left thru some good size rocks sticking up in the water. 2 things reminded me of them, Stonehenge or cemetery grave stones. I believe at some point there must have been a fire there once because there were charred trees.

Sirs: I have taken a beautiful picture when I camped inthe BWCA in the summer of 2007. I would like to send the picture in the mail instead of downloading it since I do not have the capacity to do that. My email address is costellojoan@hotmail.com Would you please send me an address to send the picture to? Thank you, joni

We had just endured an hour long downpour on angleworm lake when the clouds began to lift and gave way to a spectacular sunset to end our day.

I'm with you knothead180...I have a whole series of BWCA pix taken from my perspective (feet in hammock, knees in canoe, knees at campfire, snowshoes on ice, etc.) But for this contest I think I'll submit full body in Eddy Falls.

In the dead of winter, we dream of cutting our canoes through glassy waters in the cool of the morning. This picture helps me to visualize that! On Lake Saganagons, August 2006

Nothing says "Summer" like an afternoon snooze in a hammock! And what hammock fan hasn't done the foot self-portrait? I'll bet we could start an entire category of these.

Early morning start in July 2006 on Vernon Lake.
Bannock 02/05/2008 12:42PM
I wanted to share this extra picture because you can see the BWCA.com sticker on the stern of the canoe.

This was taken in the Ada Creek area on July 25, 2007. The high for the day was 94 degrees with 90% humidity, but it wasn't the worse day of the trip because there was a breeze. The day before the air was deadly still and the heat oppressive. And the day before that the temperature was a mere 93 degrees with a 91% humidity, but the overnight low was 76! No relief that day, not even at night.

It was one HOT trip!
