FOUND. Tent. Yellow bag. Misc bag. Black. Khaki shirt. All on one side or the other at the 8 rod portage between Upper Pauness and Lower Pauness. May 29. Hard to know if u were coming in or out. But we passed no one coming in so hope and assume you were headed out. We tried to inquire at ely ranger station but they were closed. So gear is in the cities area hoping to find its owner.

UPDATE: FOUND in last pack. A kid grabbed them after all.
LOST. Three green fish-tank-sized nets. The "point" campsite on Upper Pauness just past the 40 rod portage to Lower Pauness. They were hanging on a tree by the wooded western tent pad (down below the fire grate and on the lake side of the tent pad area), and likely blew off and were overlooked somehow on packup. No need to return, just get them out of the wilderness please. Thanks!

Found- Small fishing net on first portage south of Nina Moose lake right at the landing on the North side of the portage. I found the net on June 1st and packed it out.
I live in the northwest suburbs, so if you believe this net is yours and it is worth trekking to my place to get it, it's yours. I do expect you to describe it when you contact me just to make sure it is yours.

Lost 3 Tent Poles in tan bag, somewhere between Cherokee (campsite northeast of 140 rod portage) and northern most campsite on Jack. We had lunch on the 240 rod portage on the south side of South Temperance and could have been left there but it's only a guess.

LOST CAMP SAW --- Left at Campsite on Shade Lake on 06/13/2011
Green handle Sven folding camp saw. It's a simple but wonderful tool that we have had for many years. Unfortunately, it seemed to evade our eyes on the sweep of the campsite we did before leaving. I'd really appreciate if someone found this and can let me know.
Thanks. Michael mfisch67@gmail.com

LOST: A digital camera - Kodak Easyshare M340 with pictures of our boy scout group. It was in a ziplock bag with a map. Lost around the campsite on the island in Ester Lake or possibly in the water right near there. If you found this please contact me -- I'd really love to have the pictures from the camera!

Lost: Men's titanium wedding band on Tuesday July 5th. Most likely somewhere along the portage from Lower Pauness to Shell or the portage from Shell into Little Shell. Small chance it could have been lost on the portage on the Little Indian River Sioux North coming from EP14 towards Upper Pauness, but don't think so. Could be in the water, and if so, it's gone forever...
The chances of finding this after I have searched already for about 4-5 hours is very small, but if you do, please contact me at svondracek@new.rr.com. Much appreciated.

FOUND: June 23, 2011 - A pair of Sunglasses on the top-side of the falls on the island located at Lower Basswood Falls -Crooked Lake. Looks like they were there for a few weeks - screws were starting to rust. Let me know what they look like and I'll get them back to you.
07/18/2011 04:37PM
Lost: mens fishing vest. The fishing vest has a name on the fishing license attached to the vest. Vest has a fly reel in it. Most likely lost on a portage between Mudro and Fourtown on July 13th 2011. Please call Bud 443-324-7831 Thanks

LOST - lost on Thursday, July 14th at Moose Lake Entry Point 25. We left a sleeping bag at the entry point as our youth group left the BWCA. It was in a black plastic garbage bag. There was another large group loading into a school bus at the same time that we were loading our vehicles, we are guessing that it ended up with the other group, but we don't know who that group was. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi all,
I left a hat at the portage out of Crab into Burntside Lake coming out of the BWCA today. Tan, broad brimmed (brim all the way around) hat. On the front is embroidered Rose Bowl 1999 and also has the U. Wisconsin "motion W" on it.
I' d be VERY grateful if someone were to come across it--please let me know. Left behind on 7/31/11. Thanks!

Pinepatch, it was nice running into you as you exited the BWCA. I did track down your fishing pole. I had to pry it out of the hands of the folks who camped at your site the same day you left. They were very nice and understanding. Since the pole did not produce as many fish for me as it did for you, I will certainly send it back to you.
Send me your address to matt@intrcomm.net.

quote photoguy190: "Lost a map in a case on the first portage out of EP 16. My permit fishing lincese and compass was in it. Was on my way out and just must of left it. Would love it get it back."At least your name was on your items. Shouldd get a call soon. At least I would call you if I found it.

Found a pair of prescription "clip on" glasses. Look like the old school clip-on sunglasses but they had a prescription to them. Found in the sand a couple feet into the water Jack side of Jack to Wierd portage.
I had them in my pocket. Sorry, they fell apart when I washed the shorts after getting home. I can send the pieces if needed.

LOST: Lightweight, pea-green Duluth-type pack. Accidentally taken by an outgoing party from entry point #16 Moose River Portage on Saturday, Aug 20th around 1:30 PM. Initials on front flap are hand written "MBS" or perhaps "MB." Contents include 2 thermarests, 2 sleeping bags, a 2 person REI dome tent, and several stuff sacks with misc items (including prescription eyeglasses). It has taken me several years to accumulate this gear, and I will really appreciate getting it back!
If found, please contact Mary Beth St. Hilaire at marybsaint@hotmail.com. A reward is offered. Thanks!

Lost in June in Sea Gull Lake during high winds. Pair of Smith toaster (tortoise style)sunglasses. Incident very similar to a recent article in the Boundary Waters Journal, though I was able to stay dry.
If you happen to hook them on a line, no need to return, just pack them out.

Found on our trip.... Fleece mid layer along the Horse River; empty & punctured spraypaint can, can of Copenhagen near our campsite on Thursday Bay; 3 jiffy pops in various stages of cremation in the fire grate, several nails (including a HUGE one!) also in the fire grate of our last site on Gun.
Oh yeah, some rods w/o reels too. Karma must be a bitch, seeing as these were also found at the same trashed site on Gun. Next time pack out your jiffy pop and you'll likely remember your poles.
Lost - hooks, rapalas, jig heads, and a mepps spinner, plus a few
tent stakes, some skin, and blood at various places.

Found #1: Hat, tan with DeKalb logo and hunting dog graphic. Along shore near portage from Heritage to Lynx. It had been there a while and the fabric was starting to rot. Just letting you know that the hat was found and trashed.
Found #2: Black Carhartt jacket on portage between Upper and Lower Pauness. Was on portage on Sat., Sept. 24. If yours, please get in touch. It was a heavy bugger to add to my solo bag (thus my picking it up on the way out, rather than on the way in). Also phoned in to WELY.
Found #3: Bundle of rods/reels on portage between Upper and Lower Pauness. Contact me with details to claim. Also phoned in to WELY.
Found #4: Single athletic shoe, GRID, size 8, at EP 14 (LIS North) on Wednesday, Sept. 28. I have a suspicion this belongs to a lady solo paddler who was on the way in while I was on the way out. I didn't want to leave it at the EP with rain forecast for the night.

Adam, do you think it appropriate to move this thread to the top level for the forum (at the same level as "Listening Point - General Discussion")? That would increase the visibility of the Lost and Found thread to new visitors who may be hoping to find their items. Making things easier on new visitors might turn them into regular participants.
I liked the way you included the link to the prior year's L&F thread in this one. If you do decide to move it up one level, you could keep just the current year there, with links back the prior year(s) in the initial post.
