Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness - July 2004

Eleven Scouts and seven adults travelled to Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness July 19-25, 2004. Because of crew size restrictions, they split up into two crews of nine persons each. Here are some photos of one crew's trip.

Rockwood Lodge -- finally!	Preparing to go our separate ways	Heading across Poplar Lake	Our first portage -- to Lizz Lake


Entering the Boundary Waters	Did you wait 20 minutes after eating?	Cameron, Christian, Chris -- the three C's	Joe "Follow me, I've been here before, I can read a map" and Bradley


This looks like a good site...	Rudy and George relax	Swimming in Horseshoe Lake	Chris makes sure Cameron follows the recipe


Breakfast at Tiffany's?	Christian leads the way	Wait for us!	Buddy boats


Where'd all this extra gear come from?	View from the western end of Gaskin Lake	Do you have your life jacket, Bradley?	Lunch on the portage trail to Henson Lake


Cameron and George head out on Henson Lake	Swimming in Omega Lake	Two thumbs up from Chris!	How cold is the water?


I washed my hair today, mom!	Preparing the evening meal	Cleaning up afterward	I was hoping you'd play an ace!


Omega Lake	Bradley shows off his "hat"	Chris prefers the front...	...but so does Christian


Practicing tandem canoe strokes	Let's check out those cliffs	Christian tries to catch dinner	Anand comes up empty


Look out, below!	Can someone move this rock?	Will this stuff ever come off?	9 forks, 9 knives, 9 spoons, ...


	I wonder what kind of ripple pattern a toad would make?


Rar!	Chris demonstrates his technique	Rudy and Christian	This portage isn't so bad...


Heading out onto Winchell Lake	Joe, Bradley, Anand	Christian and Rudy	George and Cameron


One of many loons	Need a bigger sail!	Lunch	Pine cones!


Pine cone wars!	Getting a head start toward Gaskin Lake	Out of bread crumbs, Chris leaves a pine cone trail.	Entering Gaskin Lake


North on Gaskin Lake...	...then east to our campsite


Stairwy to Heaven	Rudy tries his luck...	...and his patience!	Morning fog


Cameron and Christian	Portage trail to Horseshoe Lake	Are you sure we have everything?	Our paddles, keen and bright


Early morning calm	Christian "It's dark in here!"	Caribou Lake	Familiar faces


Christian finishes his merit badge requirements	Chris tries getting back into his canoe...	...again!	Bradley hoists himself back in


I know it's in here somewhere!	Should I play the ten?	Bradley strikes a familiar pose	Dinner is served


When can we do this again?	One of many ducks	That shower felt great!	Not pictured: Ron Taylor


Let's roll!	Is everyone here?	Would you buy a used canoe from one of these guys?

Five months later... and the ground is actually wet! Almost all plants survived the winter. Click on the thumbnails for larger images (and click the Back button on your browser to return here)!



Nineteen months later... mission accomplished! The first photo shows the general area looking from north to south. The second photos is a closeup of the area showing typical usage by black-bellied whistling ducks and white ibis. Can you spot the lone wood duck?
