We have a tradition of celebrating the end of a long portage on a hot day with a plunge into the water! Here two of us took advantage of the warm weather last summer on our route from Kawishiwi Lake to Snowbank Lake.

Beat the heat with a cold refreshing root beer float at Stoney Ridge Cafe, post-trip of course but I think I'll submit a different photo.

It's an awesome photo that perfectly captures the intended theme but, just a heads up, lindylair has already won a photo contest (February) this year.

By all means keep sharing!!!! You've obviously got a real knack for taking some great ones! Was not trying to dissuade you (or anyone) from doing so.
