Camping

J and I camped for two days in late July. We tramped around a good stretch of northeast Minnesota.

The first night we stayed on the St. Louis River, just north of Floodwood. The next day, we fished a small rapids under a nearby bridge. I kept two smallies and a walleye, which we cooked that night after a mighty search for another suitable camp spot. In the end, we found a pretty little wilderness lake in the Chippewa, Cottonwood Lake. We had the place to ourselves.

We managed to stay dry despite a wild late night thunderstorm. The next morning, we zig-zagged our way to Cass Lake, mainly on Forest Service roads. I shot the lillypads on a little trout lake on the road from Blackduck.
