Some pictures of my camping trip in bemidji, had a blast!

American Aviatrix Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) In 2010, female NASA astronaut Shannon Walker carried one of Earhart's wrist watches for 163 days onboard the International Space Station.This 35 mm Longines is on display in the Ninety-Nines Women's aviation museum in Oklahoma City. 85 years ago, 6 weeks into their Eastward near-equator around the world flight, American Amelia Earhart & her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared above the vast Pacific Ocean. On July 1, 1937 Earhart's twin engined Lockheed Electra departed Lae - New Guinea aiming towards the tiny Howland island, where she could land & refuel with US Navy support ship USCGC Itasca. However, on July 2, 1937 the aircraft ran out of fuel and was lost... did they miss Howland island and were marooned on the shores of Nikumaroro? Certainly the most intruiging aviation mystery, which I would like to see resolved in my lifetime! (Photo/Slide: MoonwatchUniverse)

A good trip to Itasca. One of these pictures was a little too exciting, but the bear box survived penetration testing, and the bear was chased off.
