boundary waters canoe trip

saturday, august 12th...packing up for our bwca trip at will and sandy's house. when we started out, our food pack was heav-y with gorp and skittles and tang and such.
will and lucy do some kind of happy hit-the-road dance...

...before she was relegated to her spot in the way-back for the car trip.
sunday, august 13th...we arrived at sawbill after dark on saturday and camped out on an old logging road. it rained overnight and it was pretty wet and gloomy as we got all of our gear together.
our first night was spent on malburg lake. while paddling around the campsite, we encountered an otter who stuck his neck up and made a funny, defensive puffing noise at us. sadly, it was still raining when he appeared, so no pics. the tarp allowed us to enjoy a dry spaghetti dinner.
monday, august 14th...sunshine! we woke up to a cloudless sky...


...wrung out our wet clothes and let everything dry out a bit before packing up and getting back on the water.
lucy helps out with the breakfast dish washing.
checking out our route to maqua lake on the map...

(to be continued...)

  1. this is very interesting for someone who hasn't tent camped in years and someone who has never real-life camped like you were doing to read... can't wait for the next installment!
