BWCA trip - Activities

Greg in the tree

 

Well, first off, if you remember the bear from the animals page, this picture demonstrates what you can do to help save your food from the bear. Hang your food from a high limb. If there is not a handy limb close enough to the ground to toss a rope over, bring a monkey along to climb the tree for you so that you can reach the lowest high limb!

Jo and Bill rigging the tarp

 

Sometimes it looked like it was going to rain. We put up the tarp several times, guaranteeing that it would not rain. Here's Jo and Bill rigging for the tarp. It only took 1/2 an hour to get his hand untied from the tree when they were done.

Margie the mussel woman

 

Here Margie shows off her mussels. (Muscles/mussels...get it?) She was the champion mussel finder. We were champion mussel eaters! There were a couple of lakes that were especially bountiful in these delectible treats. When we rough it, we don't miss a trick!

Laundry day

 

After several days in the wilderness, you start to smell like a moose. There are several reasons that they do not market "Moose cologne"... the main one being that moose stinks! Laundry, on occassion, helps with the smell (as do baths... bathing pictures will only be posted by special request). Here we have the Onarock laundro-mat.

Three onarock

 

Speaking of Onarock, here's three on a rock right now. We spent a lot of our time onarock. Cooking, camping, reading, lazing, gazing and, of course, swatting mosquitos in the evening.

Bill in his Crazy Creek

 

Here's Bill doing the onarock boogie in his Crazy Creek chair. Rocks are essential to good campsites. Crazy Creek chairs are essential to good rocks.

 

There's lots more that we did. Maybe I'll do an 'Activities II' page. When I do there will be a link here. So, (you may have noticed that at the end of each page the last sentence starts with 'so'... well, you did watch Fargo, didn't you!) back to the Onarock home page.
