Here is a view from the best campsite on this lake, looking southeast:

Here is another clue and photo, looking East from the campsite:

"Ye quenchless stars ! so eloquently bright,
Untroubled sentries of the shadowy night,
While half the world is lapp'd in downy dreams,
And round the lattice creep your midnight beams,
How sweet to gaze upon your placid eyes,
In lambent beauty looking from the skies"

sedges: "HA!


Montgomery Lake"


Bing! We have a winner. Sedges has guessed correctly.

Montgomery Lake also has Montgomery Creek and if you bushwack in about a mile or so, will come across my favorite pictograph in Quetico.

The lake is supposedly named after Robert Montgomery, an English poet who is more famous for being on the receiving end of a scathing review of his poetry rather then his actual poetry.

"How sublime Upon a time-blanchd cliff to muse, and, while The eagle glories in a sea of air, To mingle with the scene around!—Survey The sun-warm heaven..."

Robert Montgomery

Thank you Minnesotian for bringing some verse into the contest!

Nice clues. Definitely a place to visit. I've been in and around this one for a couple of seasons and I can see that I need to visit! That's the one with the "leaning tower of pine" isn't?

Wow. Is that gorgeous or what! Now I want to go to the Q again!

Awww man... I've been to Montgomery, too, but didn't recognize the photos. I'll try to do better next time. LOL

I don't know. Haven't heard of that. What does that mean exactly?
