There is a 'chicken' on the shore at 3J on Cirrus too. Paddling up at dusk, my then 8 yr. old turns around and asks; "Are there chickens in Quetico?" "No" I reply. "Well there's one at our campsite." he says. Sure enough, the rock formation looked exactly like a chicken. If I had a dollar for every "animal" I observed while paddling, stealthy made my approach with camera ready only to find it was a rock/moss/tree, I would be a wealthy man. Even using the compact binoculars I've paddled out of my way for a wildlife shot only to be embarrassed when it turned out to be nothing but rock/fauna.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us Mk631! Thank you Lynda. When db last said he was running out of PODs, I dumped an awful lot of pics on him. I enjoyed seeing them, but I'm glad we're on to someone elses! Thanks PJ for the "Queen of the Nile" set. Tom

My kids spotted it.

	Yeah. I sat in that thing all day 2 with my pillow and a bag of Sauvignon Blanc. Best day ever.

	That morning I woke up, took my clothes off, got out of the tent, grabbed my pillow, stopped at the food pack and grabbed the bag of wine, my kindle and 2 cigars and didn't leave that hammock for several hours. When the sun was at its highest I went swimming. It was windy but hot. The wife went for a hike and took a nap that day. Later, we went fishing, had a great dinner and sunset and some cocktails. She now loves Quetico and after 25 years, understands why we go.

	No tan lines though. Late July actually. 7/28 - 8/2. Almost all of my pic's were taken on the same day. As I was solving life's problems in the hammock, I remembered that QJ needed POD's. I'm much better behind a fishing rod than a camera. FWIW, the cigar my wife is smoking is a Cohiba Behike 52. As Ferris Bueller said; "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

	Small Bauza Forest. A single makes for a wonderful 45 minutes if you do not hurry it. Standard apologies for those who hate cigars, especially used ones. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
