Mr. Barley, we had a tent exactly like that back in the 70's!

This month's picture topic reminded me of something funny posted on another board a few years ago - the word "castrametation." It means "the art of setting up or laying out a camp." What a great word! And of course it lends itself to all sorts of funny puns. Try to fit it into your next trip report!

Mr. Barley, excellent pic! I think you're the guitar player from Blue Oyster Cult!

Rain, rain and more rain! Esther Lake September 2007 - 5 Inches in one night. Our makeshift clothesline works quite well! We also had a great island retreat where the view was impressive when the storm clouds rolled in!  check out my other pics in the Journal section

Island site on western side of Crooked Lake. I have a couple other sites that I like just as much or more, but not many good pics of them. Here we are doing a dutch oven sorta thing to cook some brownies, looking off to the south east.

There were many great photos this month which make me pine for some time in camp.

That looks like the same camp site that I took my Dutch oven photo on. It’s posted on the “How to cook over fire?” thread.

Vintage photo of the boys. Snakecharmers first trip, I believe. Though not great quality, it means "camp" to me. Lac La Croix...many years ago

Here's my favorite BWCAW photo in all my 4 old albums. A friend took it on Seagull on the last night of a trip in the early '90's. Don't smoke my pipe any more, but I always enjoyed that evening "Smoke" by the campfire while listening to the "Loon music." WW

For the rainy days.Either Caribou or moon lake 06.

I like that campsite on Allen, especially as a solo site.

I like the Caribou Lake picture. Is that the Caribou by Lizz Lake. In fact, is that the campsite right across from the portage into Lizz Lake?

I dig the all jeans get up. :) I used to wear those jean jackets. Oh yeah. Mine had pockets for your hands and also a sweet sheep skin collar.
But really Mr. Barley, were you hiding out from the the law or something? :)
