Oct. '09 BWCA Trip

Photo's from our Fall(At times felt like winter!) trip to the BWCA! It snowed every day, but even so we had great weather.

Lakes we traveled through in our 4 day trip: Little John, Mountain, Moose, Clearwater, Caribou, Little Caribou, Pine Lake and a few other little ones...We hiked up to Gogebic Lake, It's a little stocked trout lake at the top of a 1-2 mile hike from Clearwater. Well worth the hike...it was beautiful, and usually great for fishing(or so I'm told) nothing hitting that day.

Days were nice, fishing was so so, scenery was beautiful and the only other souls we saw were three guys flyfishing on the stocked trout lake.

I enjoy camping up there is the fall for a few reasons. The bugs are gone, fires feel so much better when it's cold and the fall colors mixed with a little snow is absolutely gorgeous.

Campsite on Clearwater Lake. This campsite connected to the Border Trail that we hiked a couple miles along to get to Gogebic Lake. A nice stocked trout lake.

Lake Trout. Too bad they are out of season...he was looking mighty tasty!

Yep...there was snow every day, but the weather was great regardless.

View down Pine Lake from the portage.

Last night...about half an hour later we decided to pack up and cross two lakes to the van and drive home :) Made it home by 4:30 am. Good, fun night. If you've never tried night canoeing, do so...safely!
