3 of 6: Boundary Waters

We opted to get a fishing license, so the outfitters threw in a cast aluminum griddle to fry any fish over the campfire. Paige was the fisher among us and caught a fine-looking walleye, you can see her dad holding it up while she paddles ashore and mom snaps a picture. We cooked it over the fire, but couldn't find that griddle. It had disappeared into the depths of one of those oh-so-big-and-heavy packs. We thought it was lost, but it was just hidden not to be found until after days of lugging it along with all those onions, bacon, crackers, cheese, the list goes on and on . . .
