Phil wants to make sure his crews enjoy the magic that is Wabakimi and he sets time aside for every crew to have some leisure time and enjoy the scenery. Here are some pics from those times – and they were many.

As stated earlier, we visited Granite Falls which is in two sections. Here is Upper Granite Falls:

And lower Granite Falls

We also visited Brennan Falls on our way to our third (and final campsite) on the south end of Granite Lake:

Blueberries were very, very abundant:

and we made good use of them:

botanically we found a lot of "British Soldiers":

Pixie cups:

Pitcher plants in the bogs (I call them “lumps and clumps)

AND much to my delight we found sundews:

I had never seen them before in the wild (thought they were Venus fly-traps at first)!

A partridge was entertaining us on one trail:

as well as this old 25 gallon fuel drum. It had a 1964 date on it:

This survey marker by Granite Falls was dated 1925:

I took this crescent moon sunset pic on my birthday. What a great present!
