The camp site on Gillis Lake

Scott works on one of the jigsaw puzzles at camp

Rob hides in his tent from the sun, mosquitos and camp-buzz to work on a puzzle

Setting up camp after a long paddle across Gillis Lake

Back on the water of Bat Lake

At last! Entry to the BWCA

Puzzle materials were passed between canoes carefully

Almost back to Edith Lake, we settle on doing the portage

Chad: lord over these lands

And back the way we came...

Chad points out that maybe this isn't the right way after all...

A scouting sortie to see if there's a navigable route from Edith Lake to Brant Lake this way

And into a bit of a traffic jam...

A short paddle across Round Lake

First canoe in the water

Ben demonstrates lifting the canoe onto his shoulder

The anticipation wedges open the first cracks in our sanity

Duluth bags packed; final prep before getting out on the water

And a close second: sunscreen

First order of the while still in civilization: hats

Rob contemplating the many puzzles to come

Scott starting to pack his personal dry bag
