| We started the trip Friday evening with a light rain, the wind in our face, and just 1 hour of daylight to paddle across 3 lakes and portage our gear across 2 short trails to read our campsite. Not an auspicious beginning, but we didn't let that slow us down. |
 |
| No Barnhart camping trip would be complete without large fires to relax around. This is a campsite on Gaskin Lake, which is where we spent most of the camping trip. |
 |
| And the sun did manage to poke through the clouds at some point. |
 |
| We made a day trip over to Winchell Lake (the next lake over from Gaskin) and found a small creek on a hillside. Climbing up the creek was a little tricky, but we forged a path through the undergrowth... |
 |
| ...and found great rewards in the form of beautiful wigs. |
 |
| Here Daniel models the latest fashion in men's hair products. |
 |
| Some rainy days at camp, but fortunately we had a rain tarp to cover our spacious living room. |
 |
| After the rain comes the beautiful sunsets... |
 |
| ...and the silly faces. |
 |
| Our last morning in camp was a perfectly sunny day, with mist rising off the water. |
 |
| David and I spent a lot of time capturing ripples on the still water. |
 |
| The final picture as we complete our trip. Looking forward to showers, sleeping in comfortable beds, and getting back to our loved ones. |
Thank you, thank you, Ben! Great post and great pictures! I am so tickled to see all my guys, together, on the hiking, canoeing, and camping trip. I told Janell I wanted you to take me on one of those trips, but I might be reconsidering that wish, seeing the rugged terrain you guys had to deal with! Still, I think I'd like to give it a try. Also would like to go to Isle Royale with you, Steve, but can't go back to my 10th birthday. :) So glad I checked the Barnhart Blog today! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben, good to see the pictures and it sounds like a good time was had by all.
