So we headed back out into the lake looking for walleye or northern pike.  Both Jim and Mat caught very nice Northerns, while I let a huge walleye jump back into the lake while trying to net it. :(   Let me tell you its not fun to relive the moment by watching it on video.  After we cooked up one of the pike for dinner we came across a beaver munching on a poplar.  It was amazing how close we were able to get, and we lucked out with some fantastic video.

As we rounded the bend into the bay that Warrior Hill resides we encountered a little wind that made paddling a little more strenuous.  The sun was still shining and getting to see Warrior Hill rise up in front of us was worth the the struggle against the wind.  The Pictographs were abundant when we finally found the cliff face they resided on.  The moose figures and hand prints were really something to see.  Thinking about what it must have been like when they were placed on the rocks really makes you appreciate what their lives must have been like.

After showing him our documentation I asked if we could get an interview.  Tim was gracious enough to oblige and gave us the skinny on what goes on behind the scenes to keep camp sites and portages up and running as well as enforcing the rules and regulations that keep the BWCAW a quite place in nature we can all escape to.
