Backcountry trip to BWCA in Oct. '09

[bwcapaddler]

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.

I'll let the photo's speak for the rest...

Some nice country and it appears to be a little on the chilly side to me with those white flakes falling around you guys. It appears to be a bus mans holiday , making canoes and paddles then trying them out. Good timing , making a trip before it freezes over.

Looks like a nice trip. Areas around Gitche Gumi are beautiful. You may want to join us at Lake Mijinemungshing, south of Wawa, on the other end of the big lake one time?

Nope, no coolers necessary!
