I'm scanning a bunch of old photos and slides right now, and it is tedious. But eventually I want EVERYTHING digitized so I can enjoy the old pictures again. Especially the slides, we took great slides back in the day. BTW, as you suggested, I'll post a report of our first Quetico trip in the next few months now that I have the scanner. We only have really crummy disposable-camera pictures from that trip, I don't know why, we've always brought a real camera on all trips before and after. Maybe we were still traumatized by the destruction of our old camera in the glacial-calving-tidal-wave disaster on the Kenai Peninsula a few years before, but that's another story. |

Someday I would like to write up our 22-day trip but the idea of scanning the photos just blows me away. Obviously wouldn't scan all of them. We'll see. It won't be soon. |

Really, for me, I can't remember a campsite 25 years later. I do remember, however, sitting on the shore there and watching the sunset. It was a nice evening. We had so much bad weather later in the trip that I think that evening stands out in more detail. |

quote Spartan2: "Spartan1 says the first one does. The first and third pictures are looking south on Boot from the point to the south of the campsite. |

I just came in from shoveling our latest snow event to find your latest TR and what a treat it was to read and to view the many wonderful photo's which you took. The memories of the poor weather certainly make the fair weather days that we can capture that more enjoyable. Thanks for your trip comments and observations, you bring smiles with them. Thanks again, Boppa |

Without a stove, Spartan1 must have really been busy finding dry wood. Did you bring a hatchet to split the wood? Making cooking fires everyday in those condiions must have really been tough. And, I also agree that your skills as a photographer are better these days. Digital cameras are so conveient compared to film cameras. I can remember putting 6 rolls of 35 mm film in long plastic tubes for transport. Thanks for taking the time for this. I think you have inspired me to do one from the 80's as well. |

Spartan1 takes a 3/4 axe on every trip, and also a folding camp saw. We like to have a cooking fire and he prefers cedar or poplar/birch for cooking so the pots don't get so black. We will use pine for a campfire for warming, but usually don't cook over pine if we can help it. But we always have a stove now, too. And on our last trip he didn't even build a fire at all. I have a couple more trips I would like to write up sometime, but it will be awhile before I get the urge again. It took longer than I had anticipated, and the scanning got really tedious. |
