Waiting at the end of our trip for a tow back to the end of the Gunflint. I don't think he could have gone another day, and neither could his rain gear.

Taken during an August 2007 trip to the Johnson Falls area. The picture is me soaking in the spray from the pool below the falls - we were able to "lounge" around the area for the entire day with the falls all to ourselves - a truly amazing day!

For some reason my new computer will not let me save photos from webshots. Until I decide what the heck the problem is, I will use this link to the good life:

It was a tough month to judge as there were many relaxing photos to view.
The winner of the February photo contest is Woodpecker!
The trip report contest goes to Ho Ho for his picturesque Quetico tail.
The extra hat goes to lmunch85.
Thank you everyone for showing us a little relaxing moment in the BWCA.

Ottoparts,
Thanks for the compliment! I have to agree with you Kiporby's photo is the one to beat. That shot reminds me of a pose you'd see from an old man after a long hard day paddling and portaging. Isn't it priceless when kids seemingly imitate adults?

This is our ultimate relaxation technique. After a long day, long portages and a bath in the lake, we poured some wine and fished until sunset!

This one is at Amoeber; so nice when the natural shape of the rock resembles an easy chair.
