Whole group of new people on my Wild Women trip...

My very wet tent...

Some portage in the rain - some escape to the car...

Lots of wet clothes after a rainy walk up Silver Peak...

Sometimes it just happens...

One of 3 trips where my legs looked like this...

One of the smallest of the wildlife I saw...

New boots and long trail do not go well together - it definitely got covered with several band-aids....

As if a pack is not enough lets drape several items from all parts of the body....

Lo and behold when I went out in the woods by my house I found a Badger Paddle, complete with sock and yellow sticker and unlike that guy with the dog it was outside. Brought it in and with a little oil and sanding...

View from our campsite on Big Trout...

I tried very hard to get inside - but they closed up early on me. We shopped by looking through the gate - I guess family time for the holiday is important too....

Not only did I visit the Complete Paddler on my way north but I saved $40.00 by not using the 407 this trip....

He really does have a pack and everything in the canoe. Really a minimalist - comes from having backpacked. ...

Pat trying out her new wood stove - worked very well at boiling water...

Day one of a seven day trip - notice we are all wearing PFD's...

Portaging my canoe on one of the many portages on the Big Trout Loop. ...

Trying to do it just like Becky - notice the white box - it was Bill's - you can see it in his movies. Becky gave it to me when I took lessons this past summer. ...

Pie Iron S'mores - roast a giant marshmallow to perfection and then make s'more in pie iron with graham crackers on both sides - topped with chocolate and your marshmallow. Close pie iron and put in fire until chocolate is melted - yum!...
