Ahh, so it is, didn't see it at first. The color of the pine needles? on the ground and the orange in the rock really stands out.

Lots of people camping there for the night in Sept. We had a solo paddler vist our campsite and later we visted his. It was fun talking with him. It was our first quetico trip, and the first time I heard the term 'decompress'.

We just missed you then, we went out from Mudro thru Lower Basswood Falls on Oct 20th up into Crooked and came back thru LBF on Oct 24th and looped around thru Jackfish Bay (today's photo fighting the wind) and up thru Range.

Solus, I really like the photos of your trip on your website: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).  Those are really spectacular panoramic scenes.  Smiley

Thanks Starwatcher: it was a good week to be in the woods. Jackfish rarely gathers the wind in the direction you need to travel. I found a photo of the falls from nearly the same angle from May of 08.

A better idea of the water volume- I've posted this before.

Great pic of the Tamaracks in color. I can see the birches behind them have their leaves down already. So how far behind the birches and red maples do the Tamaracks turn? They usually begin with a lighter golden color??? These might be ready to drop their needles?? When I've gone in early Oct the Tamaracks are still green, but the small red maple bushes and birch are nice. Northern Indiana is just barely in the Tamarack range and where they are it's closed for deer season when they turn.
pre Smiley for info

Thanks Solo, I also love the tamaracks changing to that nice yellow ochre.  We went out from Mudro thru Lower Basswood Falls on Oct 20th up into Crooked and came back thru LBF on Oct 24th and looped around thru Jackfish Bay this past season.   There were since a few small pockets of birch since changing, but most leaves were down.  We normally see birch changing around the first weekend of October.  maples start around mid September.

Beautiful picts! I wonder if the larches are kicked into a color change by a lower temperature than the decidedous trees???? Beautiful nevertheless.
