2013 BWCA - Little Indian Sioux South, Bootleg Lake
In the Fall of 2013 we went on a wonderful Boundary Waters trip. Myself and two tripping buddies went in at Little Indian Sioux South and spent a week by ourselves on Bootleg Lake before heading back the way we came. We had planned on a vigorous trip covering lots of ground and water, but Bootleg was so ideal this particular trip that we decided to stay, until/unless more people moved into the lake. No one came, so we stayed for 7 nights on Bootleg, enjoying pleasant weather and a multitude of frogs, sunsets, and Aurora Borealis.

Preparing for the "Hobo Pie" meal, which consists of these ingredients, cut and divided into aluminum packets, cooked directly in the coals. Subject A Subject B This frog was more than willing to pose for some macro shots. Thanks Frog! Top-down view of this BWCA frog! This island was off our site, and every morning it collected mist from the previous night. My MNII in the morning sunset. This was a point we could see from our site. I was up at sunrise quite a bit, apparently. Some dew in the sunrise, of course. ... This caterpillar had collected quite a bit of dew on himself over night, he looked great in the morning glow. We saw the northern lights a few times this trip. This was from the night they came in most clear. Aurora Borealis serves as a fine backdrop for experiments with glow-sticks and long exposures.
