Most of my trips have been mid September until the end of October. I’m geared for the weather and like the added adventure of it. There was only one year of what I would call a snow storm, with strong winds and around 4” total. But good timing, with the next day being our take our day and just a few portages.

I was the first part of October this year out of Kawishiwi Lake. Few bugs and people.

After a second look, it’s not Winchell. But beautiful none the less.

Ahhh. Looks like Winchell Lake looking north and slightly west. If it is, I’ve camped at that point campsite a few times over the decades. Mostly in October though.
