07/17/2012 12:10PM That was me & yes, I made it. That was 13 years ago....don't know if I'd try it these days. There was not much of a "running" start & it was uphill at that. If the photo is late, don't make special consideration for me. Thanks |
| Chilly |
07/17/2012 12:53AM Even though it's late, feel Stumpy's photo should win this month. Everything about that pic is perfect. |

They are the two women who run The Dorothy Molter Museum. In the book is the story of the Ribbon Rock! It is actually a natural rock that consists of a banded iron formation. The ribbons are magnetite, jasper & chert. It is believed that it was carried to the region by a glacier. Pretty cool. |

06/30/2012 07:23AMquote chipaddler: "quote Torch: "Fishing of a rock in the middle of ogish 2011 I'm pretty sure my Dad caught a 19 inch smallie off those rocks in 2000.  Not for contest just sharing. I found this in very low water on Insula. It is clearly notched on one end and beveled to a point on the other. Many people have said this isn't an artifact but I read that very long ago the natives used this sandtone for spear tips. I also know I'm not supposed to remove these from the BWCA but yes, I took it home and it sits on a shelf in my bathroom. I'd love to donate it to a museum and get a professional opinion on the authenticity. |

06/29/2012 10:31AM First - to Fitgers1. Thank you, it was a few memories for many and it is many that will never be forgot. Second - I almost posted this because I love that Rock out of Malberg.  I love Rocks. My favorite Quote was from one of the guys in this Picture, my buddy Arlo. He says as we left, "A lot of Big Rocks around here, A lot of big Rocks!" HA!!!!! |

06/18/2012 09:23PM This was a great trip some years back. Guy caught a 32" Walleye (that I was privileged to net) and a very fun time. That trip was one of the first in our now Annual voyages as a solid "group". Great Memories. Trip was on Brule lake in '03 *Disclaimer* I have to give props to low powered camera's Photo. This was a 2003 Point and shoot Camera. It was a Sony Cybershot. I then used Picasa. That is a sweet program, it did nice work. Let me know your thoughts. ** The Photo on the bottom (Picasa's "I am feeling Lucky" handy work applied) is my submission. Leo
