Sailors delight for sure, we woke up to a beautiful fall day!

My oldest son’s first trip into the Q this summer. We were headed into Cache Bay and about to be marooned by the storm for the afternoon.

What a night on Lake Meeds

Brule Lake morning. Not a good day coming!

This rainbow formed over Alpine Lake on our last night during a passing storm and ended about where our family was spending the night awaiting our next day return!

Thunderstorm on Hudson Lake, 2006.

No BWCA trip this year (bummer) but here is one of my favorite storm photos from Powell Lake. A storm had just passed and the sun came out, then I looked to the west!

This storm blew up on Cummings Lake just after dinner and after we had taken down the tarp to save some pack-up time in the morning. We got it back up just in time!

Hanson Lake Rainstorm, September 2020

Crab Lake after the Blueberry Festival Storm nearly blew us off of our campsite.
