I can't remember location! From my 2014 solo. I need to look back at the dates and see if I can figure it out.

I love this category! I love paddling the creeks and rivers of the BWCA. I have good pictures if Horse River, Kelso River, Pheobe River, Kawishiwi River, Dahlgren River, Moose River, Stuart River LIS (north and south), Pony River, Devils Cascade, and many more. However, I chose to post this picture of Ada Creek.

The picture quality is not great, but it is of my tripping buddies, Julie and David. David passed away unexpectedly in July.
