Camp
I spent this past week in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota at an Apple Distinguished Educators workshop held at Camp Birchwood for Boys. I met some outstanding educators, Apple employees, professional photographers and some all-around good people.

We were fortunate to be joined by two outstanding professional photographers:

2) It was a shrew. It was dead, so I took it around and posed it in several places. He was very agreeable.

5) Looks like a pretty amazing trip and place. Never made it to The Boundary Waters the whole time I was in MN. One of my regrets. Did you find any mosquitoes up there or was it too cold?

6) Few mosquitoes, but they weren't a huge problem. It was a beautiful area, and I want to go back.

8) We weren't all that far. More east and a little north. Here's a map of where I went (it's in the center of the map, unmarked, just east of Gulf Lake):

11) What a gorgeous place - and looks so well maintained.

I like the idea of mixing computer stuff and nature - had to be inspiring. And obviously, FUN!
