Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness

Fourteen Scouts and ten adults travelled to Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness July 21-27, 2001. Because of crew size restrictions, they split up into four crews of six persons each. Here are some photos of one crew's trip.

Entering the BWCA.	Our first campsite.	No luck on Caribou Lake.


A quiet moment.	Bacon a la Alan.	On Caribou Lake.	We have company.


Plenty of white birch!	Are we there yet?	Just after our portage to Vista Lake.


Pancakes a la Alan.	Vista Lake.	Landing a walleye!	"Now what do I do?"


Is that a buck knife?	It doesn't get any better than this!		Vista Lake.


The next morning.	One of our "easy" portages!		Phew!


Horseshoe Lake to Gaskin Lake.		On Gaskin Lake.


Gaskin Lake back to Horseshoe Lake.	Soft ground among the hard rocks?	Erich demonstrates his technique.	20 rods later and ready for more!


After checking out the 155-rod trail to Swamp Lake, Joseph prefers it here!		Swimming in Caribou Lake.
