adam	06/10/2008 10:45PM There were many great photos this month which make me pine for some time in camp. The winner of the May Photo Contest goes to thecanoeman! Congratulations! The winner of the trip report contest is kanoes for his first but not last solo adventure! L.t. Sully picks up the bonus hat we give away each month. The winners of the photo and trip report contest will also receive a hat and also a CD copy of the Wilderness Passages magazine and DVD.
ziggens66	06/06/2008 06:42PM Sorry, I've never done this before so I thought I had it. Guess not. But it's up now. Enjoy!
kanoes	06/06/2008 06:24PM hey plums? were moustaches a requirement for that trip? :)
kanoes	06/06/2008 06:23PM what photo?
ziggens66	06/06/2008 06:09PM This is a pretty good camp photo, from one of the Gabbro camps.
moose plums	06/04/2008 12:49PM CD Mr Barley and I are the middle two. Snakecharmer is the far right.
Bullwinkle	06/04/2008 11:43AM Breakfast on Fourtown.
cowdoc	06/04/2008 11:16AM Moose Plums....I assume those are brothers, or the result of an early cloning experiment that went horribly awry!
Wilderness Paddler	06/03/2008 06:34PM Yep, Bannock, that's the one. Nice site, lot of room.
Bannock	06/02/2008 11:33AM 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?
Bannock	06/02/2008 11:31AM I like that campsite on Allen, especially as a solo site.

Ho Ho	05/31/2008 08:34AM 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!

Spartan2	05/29/2008 07:52PM Mr. Barley, we had a tent exactly like that back in the 70's!
cericdahl	05/29/2008 02:51PM Lac La Croix, an island campsite towards the east end of the lake (near the pictographs with all the hands)
UncleMoose	05/29/2008 12:07PM Great shot, moose plums. You guys could be the BWCA version of the Hanson Brothers.
moose plums	05/29/2008 09:01AM 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

bdscore	05/18/2008 11:04AM Hey Canoe Dude...you were correct about my entry last month...Curtain Falls from the Iron Lake portage.
Blackstick	05/18/2008 05:57AM Canoe Dude, 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.

Canoe Dude	05/17/2008 07:45PM 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.

mr.barley	05/15/2008 06:13PM No......It's hard to hide from the law in an orange and yellow tent.
TomT	05/15/2008 05:02AM 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? :)

zimrl	05/14/2008 10:20PM Mr. Barley, is that a disguise? Mr. encognito!
mr.barley	05/14/2008 05:07PM Does carpe diem mean seize the day or seize the carp?

tworke	05/14/2008 12:48PM spduffin, I think you could just parachute your gear in with that one.
spduffin	05/14/2008 12:26PM For the rainy days.Either Caribou or moon lake 06. 26X40 a little overkill, but worth it.
moose plums	05/14/2008 12:01PM Mr Barley-1985...Hudson Lake. What's in the baggie?

quetico152	05/14/2008 10:28AM Site right next to that little 4 rod portage upstream of Little Falls in the Falls Chain.
wildernesswebb	05/14/2008 08:44AM 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
