This is one of my favorite shots. That's my son heading back to camp after fishing all day on Ramshead Lake in February 2009.

Nym Lake day trip into Batchewaung. No fish were caught, but it was a balmy March 2009 day that barely required gloves or hats. Amazing how nice 45 degrees feels in the wilderness snow!

Fishguts... That's the best winter picture I've ever seen...a full tackle box patiently waiting for spring and fishing season.... GOOD ONE

This is as close to a winter photo that could come up with and it was taken in October on the portage frome Round lake into Missing Link.

I would rather be upside down in my canoe than right side up at my desk

This is a picture of my nephew snowshoeing along the Wolf River in northern Wisconsin last year.

God let Peter walk on water. To the rest of us He gave knoos.

Photo Description:
Taken at Lake One on 01/18/2010 around 2:30pm CST. I think this picture provides a good perspective of great winter adventure in BWCA. When lakes are frozen, the dog sled teams are out and running!

Barley, that's nice. How often do you see cedar waxwings up there in Winter? Amazing.
