Chilly,

Wow. I'm doing a fall trip next year. Hope I can get a pic half as beautiful.

May waters rise to meet you. May wind and current be always at your back. May the Good Lord paddle with you, And may yours be the lightest pack.

I'm not going to bother to look through old pics, I know Chilly's pic is a "Winner." One of the prettiest I've seen! WW

A portage landing along the Moose River, mid Sept.

This one is not for the contest but if you look in the first photo near the top of the dead pine (upper right middle of photo). On the longer branch going to the right you'll see a spot on the branch. This photo is zoomed in on the top of that tree.

2008 trip to Maine. Is it ok to submit photoes that aren't from the BWCA or Quetico?

When I saw the Red Maple Leaves I had no choice but to sing the first few lines of "O Canada"

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Sing Along!

Portage to Disappointment (I think) in October 1992.
Jeans. A windbreaker. A duffle bag. I had no idea what I was doing :)

Because I'm wearing one and I just did....
