Boundary Waters photos -- Day 3 (Saturday)

Saturday we traveled over to Big Shell Lake and Little Shell Lake.

Several "fancy" beaver lodges along the way.

The two lakes are connected by this short rapids.  We left our canoes on the Big Lake side and walked over to the Little Lake side.

Little Shell Lake is very deep.  The water in these two lakes is not the reddish brown that we'd been seeing everywhere else.

Matter of fact Little Shell Lake water was crystal clear.  Jenny filled up a water bottle here and there wasn't a single thing floating.  And the water was so clear.  It also tasted fantastic.
We always bring 'smores ingredients with us.  Since the BWCA has been having plenty of rain, we were able to have a fire in the fire grate.

Here is Brian's perfectly roasted marshmallow.
