Boat Time could be construed as expensive hobby time. We are speeding across miles of Lake Bemidji in Minnesota looking for the sometimes elusive walleye. A friend of mine often says “fishing is always good and sometimes the catching is as well”. I relate. I just happen to be in the boat with Dad andContinue reading “The Value of Boat Time.”

Watching Out The Window…For The Birds
Being one with an infinite appetite on a finite time budget for the outdoors, I have found a camera necessary to relive split second moments. A good camera on a tripod by big windows in the middle of nowhere (OK the wild country of Wisconsin) is a must in choosing where to camp on this planet.Continue reading “Watching Out The Window…For The Birds”
Wilderness canoe Trip, #60 Perspective
Two canoes, four packs and four people pushed off on a typical wilderness lake. Grey rock and green trees outlined the waterways past bays, points, and islands. The rhythm of nature begins to slow the brain waves. Small whitecaps challenge us to dig a little deeper with the paddle in our unhurried pace. The four ofContinue reading “Wilderness canoe Trip, #60 Perspective”
Coming off Winter Weary
Brown, the after winter and before spring color. Shaggy deer in their dark brown suit which will soon turn reddish as the grass grows green. I am again reminded that the only constant in life is change. I am “life stuff” weary but the deer cheer me up. I leaned the camera against a post on theContinue reading “Coming off Winter Weary”
A Real Christmas Tree
Bare, exposed, small, fragile and seemingly a random plant in a crick of a rock. At our lowest point of life we have more going for us than this tree. At our best we have no more significance than this little tree in the wilderness. I can only imagine the root system it takes toContinue reading “A Real Christmas Tree”
Signs You Need a Getaway
We live between the lake (in lakes country) and a highway full of semi-crazy people coming out of the Twin Cities to “get away” on weekends or all summer. We live where many people want to be. We often feel a need to “get away”, so what’s that about when so many thinkContinue reading “Signs You Need a Getaway”
Work Worth the Dream
From the first wilderness story heard I had always dreamed of going where few venture. Rod or gun in hand (preferably both) paddling silently in a canoe through the northern waterways would often glide into my thoughts . Visions of bulling through the brush with pack, canoe, compass, and an old hand drawn map ofContinue reading “Work Worth the Dream”
More than a Fish Fry
I have been blessed with a God-loving, fishing, hunting, slingshot shooting and extremely adventurous outdoors family. Dad was the ringleader and chief instigator of our families love of the north-woods and lakes while mom kept us busy appreciating an acre of garden. A bent of the family seems to be focused on teaching so itContinue reading “More than a Fish Fry”
The Passion of Outdoor Adventure
I have accepted the fact that outdoor adventures drive me. It’s not hard for me to throw a canoe on top of a vehicle, some fishing tackle and food in the back seat and take off for a few days. I have driven five hours one way for a simple overnight-er in the BWCA Wilderness.Continue reading “The Passion of Outdoor Adventure”
Slowfoot…More BWCA Thoughts
We get alone in the wilderness. Words, pictures, memories and a couple of scars are imbedded in us. We are subtly changed. We find out who we really are and discuss who we are becoming. An early misty morning view brings out new yearnings inside us. One gets the feeling that the amount of beautyContinue reading “Slowfoot…More BWCA Thoughts”
