"The movement of a canoe is like a reed in the wind. Silence is part of it, and the sounds of lapping water, bird songs, and wind in the trees. It is part of the medium through which it floats, the sky, the water, the shores. A man is part of his canoe, and therefore part of all it knows." Sigurd Olson "The Singing Wilderness"

in 2006 the rapids at Chatterton Falls--in the Q--were running
very low.what had been a bank to bank run of big water on our
last trip was now several channels of very fast water and wide
open areas of dry river bed.we were able to walk around and get
some great shots of bore holes in the bedrock and several small
waterfalls.some of the small ones were knee high and others
a film of water running over a smooth rock face..there was still
alot of water running down river making standing waves and
flumes like this one--



it's just a level trail thru the woods.

BWKayak,

Is that the south end of Magnetic, coming directly out of Gunflint? Never seen the water so low; normally those rocks are well below the waterline.

Or is that the little riffle just above Little Rock Falls?

Beemer, that shot of the canoe stuck in the rapids reminds me of the famous "Mike from Chicago" who ran one of our Kevlar solo canoes (Prism) down 4 waterfalls & then got caught in the 5th one.

Part of his story was included in a story in the BWJ a few years ago.

Care to provide a link or a reiteration of that story? I'd love to read about it. Maybe a new thread from outfitters and paddlers who have stories of smashed canoes and bad decisions. Love to see that thread.

I've already entered, but I had to add this photo. I think there was as much moving water on the portage as there was in the creek; but I bet others have had similar experiences

Lots of nice pics, but that Moose River pic of Lightfoot's is one I'd hang on the wall! WW


"The movement of a canoe is like a reed in the wind. Silence is part of it, and the sounds of lapping water, bird songs, and wind in the trees. It is part of the medium through which it floats, the sky, the water, the shores. A man is part of his canoe, and therefore part of all it knows." Sigurd Olson "The Singing Wilderness"

Thank you wildernesswebb, I'm glad you like it. That was one of those perfect September days; blue sky, very light breeze, and paddling in the BWCA.

Last September the Moose River was higher than we've ever seen it. Places where we could walk across it in years past were ragging like it was in that shot. Made the trip out, back up the river, a little tough in spots.

Ghostriders in the sky. Can't you see them?

As they ride on hear their cry
Yip-pie-yi-o!"

Must be near the Horse Portage, though I've never been.

Some very nice photos here.

I took this one just outside of the BWCA so it doesn't count in the contest, but it's a good photo of Devil's Kettle Falls on the Brule River in Superior National Forest.

Regarding horses. Sig Olson called the mist that rises and clings to the lakes on calm mornings White Horses. With an ever so slight breeze the mist rolls slowly just above the water and kind of rolls gently. Some of my favorite BW memories are of sipping coffee on a clear morning and watching the White Horses roll by.

Maybe I can find the old BWJ that had the story in it about the couple who ran across "Mike from Chicago".

Or maybe I'll just ask Stu Ostoff! :-)

This is my first time looking at the pictures for the photo contest, and I am amazed at a lot of these pictures. Most of these pictures should be hanging on my wall. Great job everyone, and keep up the good work.

I like the sticky topics. Here's another suggestion - when you announce the winner of the month's photo contest, why not include the winning photo in your post? When there are this many (great) entries, it can be hard to find the winner by scrolling and looking for the winner's name. Just a thought . . .
