"The Boys in My Group After a Long Day Trip"
adam 03/19/2009 10:21AM

lmunch85 - had trouble getting through to your email. Please drop me a email to get your award.
adam 03/16/2009 03:51PM

It was a tough month to judge as there were many relaxing photos to view.

The winner of the February photo contest is Woodpecker!

The trip report contest goes to Ho Ho for his picturesque Quetico tail.

The extra hat goes to lmunch85.

Thank you everyone for showing us a little relaxing moment in the BWCA.

Taken during an August 2007 trip to the Johnson Falls area. The picture is me soaking in the spray from the pool below the falls - we were able to "lounge" around the area for the entire day with the falls all to ourselves - a truly amazing day!

You know, to anyone who has never been there, these images aren't always the most inviting. Or is that the point?

Waiting at the end of our trip for a tow back to the end of the Gunflint. I don't think he could have gone another day, and neither could his rain gear.

Ottoparts,

Thanks for the compliment! I have to agree with you Kiporby's photo is the one to beat. That shot reminds me of a pose you'd see from an old man after a long hard day paddling and portaging. Isn't it priceless when kids seemingly imitate adults?

Eglath, those are classic shots, and yes, definitely what we all feel like after several days up there.

This one is at Amoeber; so nice when the natural shape of the rock resembles an easy chair.
