This was the year of the earliest ice out date on Gunflint - April 10, 2010. Six days after this photo was taken. We watched the ice recede all weekend while we were wearing shorts!

funny moment.


old scout was stuck in the mud with his front wheel drive van. a bunch of us got behind to push him out. just as he got going i stepped to the left...at that moment he floored it. the pic shows the aftermath.

Edith Lake, Spring 2009

Spring trips have lots of special memories, but for my son and I to see two very young moose calves with their mother was a special one.

Yup. Visibility of your entry will greatly increase your odds of winning :) And you do have to be signed in as a member.
