We entered Brule Lake June 14 and set up camp in Cone Bay. We watched a few groups go through to the Cones and spent time fishing and exploring on Brule.

We were enjoying listening to the loons, mallards, geese honking, Northern Flickers, woodpeckers and seagulls when, all of a sudden from near the campsite closest to the Cone portage where a few guys had stopped for a while, we heard the Eagles. Not the eagles squawking and making the noises they make, but "Hotel California" and a few other tunes. Cheap tinny speakers, but it was heard across the lake.

Did this ruin our day? Heavens no! I just laughed and, once again, realized that voices (and boom boxes) can be heard quite a ways across the waters and people still aren't even aware of it.

They missed the movie when they picked up their permit.

LOL. Another reason that I only paddle north of the border during the summer tourist season.

I hate the Eagles man...

greywolf33: "I hate the Eagles man..."

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Well, you're a nicer, more tolerant guy than me. Love the Eagles, but I have never ever heard a boom box in the BWCAW and I would be tempted to throw one in the lake if I did!

I heard them too. Comisky Park, 1977.

Sort of what I was thinking, but of course I never would have done it. :-)

Glad you didn't let it ruin the day. Though I like the Eagles, I don't know that I would enjoy hearing any music across the lake. I guess as long as it wasn't too loud, too close, or late at night it would be tolerable.

Yeah, me neither, but I sure would have been THINKING it (LOL)!

Most likely just some old Hippies toking and smoking reliving their long hair days.

On the first trip with a my current partner he brought in his IPhone. I chided him a bit and he had music on there and I told him we don't need to listen to music in the BW. It was pretty funny when he was cranking the drum solo Led Zepplin's Moby Dick as we set up our tents at a campsite. We had the lake to ourselves so what the heck. I mellowed out on being anti tunes after that.

I love music. Listen all the time.
I would not be at all happy to hear music while sitting in my campsite.
Not that I have not made my share of noise when I was younger and camping.

We have been on lakes when everything is seriously quiet and still...
except for the conversation at a campsite aways away. It is amazing how far a normal conversation can carry.

Bingo....

TrekScouter: "I heard them too. Comisky Park, 1977."

Yeah, but do you remember? I mean, like, it was the 70s, man. Do you groc me, man?

Out of my ****** cab! Out!

My Grandson, nephew, & I were playing go fish in the tent one night while my son & wife were fishing across Fourtown. The next morning they were laughing that they could hear us playing cards plain as day and they were at least a mile or 2 away.

Just another case for carrying bear spray.......it's not just for bears ;-)

I saw the Eagles at Notre Dame. It had to be 1980. They were promoting Joe Walsh for president. I think Reagan won. I met a girl from Bowling Green. She did write to me once. A letter. It was in long hand, or is that called cursive. The only way a love letter should bewritten. Funny, till now I never knew how to spell cursive. I thought it had an f in it. Like serif. I never wrote back. Not the greatest story. And the rest is history...

My son and his girlfriend went to the Eagles in the cities tonight! Said it was a blast!!!!

I heard the Eagles last night in downtown Minneapolis at Target Field. Great concert but hotter than the 4th of July.
