Wednesday, August 20, 2008 I decided we would take a day trip to Little Basswood Falls, and perhaps to see the Indian pictographs just north of there. We started out a bit late, and took our time fishing the first couple of pools of the upper Horse River. It was about 3:00 pm when we finally got to Basswood Lake and the Falls. I was disappointed to discover that a group of youngsters had decided that right above the Falls would be a great place to camp, thereby making their presence a part of everyone's Lower Basswood Falls experience that day. So, after taking some pictures and being there for about a half hour, we started our four hour trip back to our campsite at Horse Lake, rather than continue on to see the pictographs. In the end, we arrived back at our campsite hot, tired, sun burned, dehydrated, and hungry. I guess we bit off a bit more than we had hoped to chew that day, but since we were just doing an "in and out," I didn't think a bit of portaging was going to kill anyone. The freeze dried beef stew on Ramen noodles went down pretty well that night around the campfire.
