Group at Perent Lake

Dale and Robin Kaiser, Bunny Lazorik, Ellie and Dave Boeckermann and myself are seen here Friday night enjoying a nice refreshing drink of "Wang".

This was a very quick trip. It simply was a break away from all the hub bub of the 4th (tourists, commotion and noise). It was a first time trip in a canoe to the BWCA for Dale, Robin and Bunny. I hope they enjoyed themselves.

We paddled down Hog Creek for several winding miles and then across Perent Lake to find a campsite. The campsite we really wanted was already taken. So we paddled on. The campsite we ended up with turned out to be a very good one too. Plenty of room for the tents. Firewood was a little scarce but we always came up with enough to have a nice fire. Bunny was assigned the duty of "baker" and did a fine job baking. We even had lemon bars one night.

The wind was howling pretty much non-stop and limited the time we could spend out on the lake fishing but we still managed to russle up enough fish for a fish fry Sunday night.

We are now preparing for the "big trip" coming up in three weeks. The big one will be nine days in the BWCA. We will be very limited to what we can pack in. It will be the most challenging trip for us yet. We will be visiting Isle of the Pines, Dorothy Molters old residence. I am really looking forward to it.
