Our 1975 trip to quetico

In the summer of '75, my uncle Al organized a canoe trip to quetico Provincial Park, north of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.  Al, Dave, Kevin and Pat spent 7 days and covered about 100 miles.

 

Here are some pictures I recently scanned from slides of the trip (click on image for full-size version):
