Boundary Waters Camping Trip


Click images for larger version.


My readership may have a few more guys than usual when DH forwards this on to his cousins and uncles with whom he spends a week each August in The Boundary Waters area of Minnesota. Hi guys! Don't worry, Jeff didn't share TOO many of your secrets with me, hehehehe.

Journaling: Just remember the most important lesson of the week: “What happens in the Boundary Waters STAYS in the Boundary Waters.” And don’t forget to drive that lesson home on the way home! Mothers and wives generally don’t tolerate that kind of behavior like your fellow man. Aside from typical guy stuff, the cousins and uncles have a great trip full of canoe- ing, fishing, laughing, eating, and even loofah-ing (don’t ask, remember, it stays in the Boundary Waters). This year the weather was mild, the rains few, and at least one day, the fish were plentiful! The two biggest complaints were the swarming mosquitos and the biting black flies, as well as the in- cessant chipmunk raids conducted on the food supply...were YOU aware they could chew through a jar of peanut butter?! Me neither...(see separate page)

Ahhh...Boundary Waters. I know a few ppl who go there every year! I'm sure they'd agree with "what happens at BW STAYS at BW!"

BTW, you're tagged on my blog, if you haven't already done this one. :-)

Cool pics and journaling here! My favorite, by far, is the picture positions on your first LO. So many pics and it looks AWESOME. I'm stealing the idea ;)

Love the boundary water layout. I love how large the main picture is on the page and how you used multi photos.
