It was a Sierra Designs 2 person with a completely netted top. I used that for about 18 years. You can see it in my pic here. Sierra Designs replaced the door zipper for no charge except shipping in 1992. I am sold on them now and got a new model from them in 2008. |

It is amazing to me how much has changed in the last 50 years. Today not many would be caught out in cotton shirts and blue jeans with their Grumman aluminum canoes but most of those pics have at least one "taboo" item. So once again, thanks for the great pictures! ~Ox |

Not for contest. Yes, Oxtung, here is polyester stretch pants, cotton sweatshirt, orange waterski belt, and you can't see them but I was wearing a pair of lightweight Keds (no socks) on my feet, too. It is a wonder I survived, eh? But that was almost 40 years ago (1971) and I am not only still living, I am planning a trip next summer. As you said, aluminum canoe. Borrowed flannel-lined kid's sleeping bag. Blow-up swimming pool air mattress. You didn't even mention the canvas tent. I think I would still go back with all of the old stuff today--but NOT THAT!! |

quote Spartan2: "And sometimes the contest subject is fish and we don't fish. ;-) I feel It might be easier for you to start fishing then it would be for me to start taking pictures of the 1960's and 1970's;) But your darn right life aint fair, I could tell that by last months photo contest. Good luck everyone I love these photos. p.s. Anyone have a Delorean for sale? |

These photo contests are wonderful. I always look at the ones with the "winter camping" theme and think "I would NEVER do that!" but I love seeing the photos. It is great that we have lots of different interests, ages, abilities, and personalities on this board. |

I believe there is going to be a dam at High Falls soon, if not already, and this beautiful location is not the same anymore. That makes me sad. |

I forgot to mention that bojibob will also be getting one of Dicecupmakers beautiful leather work products donated by Mitch. Email Mitch/dicecupmaker - andersonacres@charter.net if you are interested in treating yourself to dice cup or can/bottle holder. |

quote dogwoodgirl: "Nice shot Ho Ho! Is that with scouts or a camp?" Camp in Ontario. It was a four-week trip. The longest one I've been on yet. I wonder if I can break that record in retirement? I could have guessed your picture was from the same era even without the date. :) Was that a camp? Did you digitize the picture somehow? I need to do that with my old pics. |

It was the most memorable trip of my life and i got some AWESOME photos while we were there. I would like to enter one particular photo of a sunrise but i do not want my entry to be out of context with the monthly theme. Just looking for some advice on when i could enter it. You can reply to timheater@frontiernet.net I can send it anytime but would like to get it entered this year if possible. Thanks....... PS....We're already laying the plans to go back next year as i imagine a vast majority do after seeing the Boundary Waters for the first time. It was our "once in a lifetime" trip that i hope to continue for many years to come. |

Redcrest Lodge, Jackfish Island, Rainy Lake, International Falls, MN. Unknown year. I came across these and many other photos in an album at a garage sale 30 years ago. I liked the photos of the canoe and boats. I recently donated the album to Koochiching Co. Historical Society. |

I find it odd that I only brought the hightops on that trip with no camp shoes. My rationale was probably to save weight. Live and learn. |

Jeff prepares for our last portage - 513 rods from the Stuart River to the Ely-Buyck Road (Echo Trail) Gotta love the old portage sign, the well-worn Duluth packs, the Vietnam POW/MIA bracelet, and a grin bigger than those glasses |

Believe this is the north end of White Iron Lake at Silver Rapids. I think this is the waterfall along 210 rod portage of the North Kawishiwi. |
