Report
We took a group of Boy Scouts on an overnight on Wood Lake. For most of them it was their 1st BWCA trip, my son included... Friday night we stayed at Fall lake, then went into Wood to stay overnight on Sat, coming out on Sunday.
Here are some pics from the trip, minus pics of the Scouts..

A fun time has had by all, lucky for us it rained Friday night while we were sleeping. Then didn't start coming down again until Sunday when we were paddling out..
