Pokegama River Paddle 
Monday, June 26, 2006, 09:16 AM - Kayaking/Canoeing
Miranda and I went for an evening paddle up and down Pokegama River Starting at: 46°39'57"N 92°07'36". We just missed a thunderstorm, winds were up high so we didn't go all the way to the Lake Superior Bay. We did see many animals along this thick, still, brown river though! Muskrat, Red-winged Blackbirds, many deer, rabbits, ducklings, Great Horned Owl, Great Blue Heron, Canada Geese. All in only 2 hours!

Wetland Canoeing 
Sunday, June 25, 2006, 09:19 AM - Kayaking/Canoeing
After camping at Island Lake, Joe and I decided to go canoeing in a nearby wetland. He paddled around the edges while I took pictures. Afterwards, on our way home, we came upon a fox eating roadkill. We were afraid he might get hit by a car being that close to the road so I moved it into the grass before we left. (Just for a warning, there is a picture :) ) (Wetland was @ GPS 47° 1'6"N 92° 8'30"W)

One of many Blue Flag Irises.

A couple frogs were kind enough to stay for a photo.

Just caught this Common Yellowthroat leaving the branch.

Scraggly fox didn't seem too afraid of cars.
