Boundary Waters photos -- Day 1 (Thursday)

We paddled into the Boundary Waters up the Little Indian Sioux River.  There was a bit of a portage to the put in area.

There were lots of cars parked at this entry point (#14) which made us a bit worried about seeing a lot of people.  It didn't turn out that way but is popular spot.

We portaged by two different sets of rapids.  The first had a big water fall.  The water is reddish brown from all the iron in the hills.  When the water falls over the rapids and the sun shines through it, it looks like liquid gold and creates huge areas of foam.  It was realy beautiful.

Once again Jenny had planned the perfect campsite. It turned out we weren't the ony ones that wanted the site but we were the ones who got to it first.

Brian performed is famous tree climb to set up the ropes so that our food packs can be lifted into the air and safe from bears.
