Just after the rain stop and the skies started to clear I was able to pull my camera from it's water-tight stuff sack and snap this photo of Mike Todey and Jamie Walsh. They were hoping to ride the change of weather to a change of luck and land some lakers .... BUT .... the fishing was tough .... :( But the BWCA is tough to beat .... :) another great trip was had by all...

A drop from heaven on Insula in 2005.

"The instant he dips a paddle, he flows as it flows. The canoe yielding to his slightest touch, responsive to his every whim and thought. Should you be lucky enough to be moving across a calm surface with mirrored clouds, you may have the sensation of suspension between heaven and earth, of paddling not on the water, but through the skies themselves."
-- Sigurd F. Olson

"Shark rock along the portage" - -Stopping to rest along the grueling portage from Kiskadinna to Davis, my wife happened to sit down on a ledge in front of a car sized rock. I swear the rock grinned when I took the picture as if it had been waiting for thousands of years for just such a moment. Looks like "Jaws" coming out of the ground to me, thus the title. Enjoy.

I added a map link, hope this works.
