Nice report, especially like the moon picture reflecting off the water, the snapping Turtle (that looks like a dinasoaur) and the Family picture at the end.
Nice Trip, Nice Report!

It's really great that you can do this stuff with your family. Mine prefer hotels.

I hope this tradition continues for you into the next generations. Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves despite the weather.

BTW, did you get your lure back after snagging the turtle? I once had a 4 foot alligator take my rapala in Louisiana. I got him on shore and he opened his mouth and out flew the lure. I was very happy about that. Thanks for the trip report.

The Rapala was a casualty as the snapper broke my line once he I got him to shore and he could dig his claws into the earth. His 20 or so pounds was no match for my 6 pound test line.

Nice report! Imagine flooded portage trails... seems feast or famine in the precip department. Wonder what that means for our winter?

Cool loon/turtle pics.

Very nice report and pictures. Good to hear the newbies fell in love with the BW. I too love sleeping in the tent during a good rain.

Good report! Thanks.
I also love sleeping in a tent in the rain. As long as I was able to get the tent all set up before it rained..
