Well, hey...special thanks to Breezy for both the first entrants to this gallery and the original idea. All of her shots were taken with an instamatic camera. Their journey took them to Little Rock Falls and Devil's Elbow Lake.

We took our trip in September of 1990, entering the BWCA on Sept. 17 - Monday. Starting on Gunflint Lake at Gunflint Lodge, we paddled across the lake to the pass into Magnetic Lake. We stopped for lunch at Little Rock Falls. Paddling on, and after making the long Pine Portage, we went across Clove Lake and set up camp. We left Tuesday a.m. and paddled hard through Granite and Gneiss, ran rapids, and ended up at Devil's Elbow Lake We camped here Tuesday and Wednesday. We packed up early Thursday morning and headed toward Saganaga, passing first through Maraboef Lake, Horsetail Rapids, Saganaga Falls, skimming past Red Sucker Bay, lunching at Camper's Island, and finally through Saganaga to Top of the Trail outfitters for our takeout point. I don't remember what brand of camera I had, but it was an old 126 instamatic...can't even hardly find 126 film now. Can't wait to see other's pages here! I'm very interested in seeing other's photos.
