This one doesn't count, but I thought I'd share. It's Table rock near Wednesday bay on Crooked lake. From what I understand, it served as a meeting place of the natives.

Not a contest entry -- but a cool rock either way...at the campsite on Finger Lake (north of Oyster Lake) on the SW side of the island.

Eagleson - is that the campsite just before a 10 rod or so portage around a set of rapids?

I know what you mean.....my dad always took me and my younger sister from the time we could first walk out on his fishing trips and us girls could only sit in a canoe for sooo long that eventually he'd drop us off on shore to do exploring while he fished. My favorite time to explore shoreline is right after the ice out in spring when you find the coolest things!! But he always told us NO throwing the bigger rocks in the lake....for one there dosn't need to be any extra snags and #2 a good rock for an anchor should always be left for the next person....ya just never know!! I just had to laugh at your pic....reminded me a lot of my dad teaching us "proper fisherman" etiquette or at least trying!!!
|
|
L.B.F.Girl
|
Hey Tom T.....that guy looks like he's throwing a perfectly good anchor rock into the lake!!!!
|
|
jdevries
|
Eagleson - that makes much more sense, now I recognize it. Just before the portage that gets you to this little falls.
|
|
TomT
|
It probably was. I took my 3 nephews and they had so much fun heaving boulders like that in the lake. We would walk shorelines and find all kinds of cool things.
|
|
TomT
|
Yeah, I remember thinking at the time that it wasn't the best idea to be throwing big rocks in the lake but Dave in particular was having such a blast that I didn't want to spoil his fun. It was their first time in the BWCA.
My other nephew Paul - the one in the water, can skip rocks like nobodys business. I was amazed at what he can do with a flat rock. I think we counted 18 skips one time.

This one won't be in the contest either because I already entered however I think this is another popular rock, especially if you've been to Malberg.

Actually, there's a funny song about this... The chorus goes:
"'Cause we've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and, ...waterrrrrrr!"
(Actually the song's about Canada, but I think it works pretty well for the BW too. I'll post a link to the mp3 if I'm allowed... moderators?)

Seagull Submarine -- sighted surfacing at the east end of Lac La Croix.
That's the captain seagull up on the bridge, and you can see the periscope camouflaged as a dead tree... I always wondered why so many flotillas up there seem to zig-zag -- they're practicing serpentine convoy maneuvers to avoid torpedoes!

TomT....wow thats cool, I never was able to get good at skippin rocks welllll....unless you count goin ice fishin and getting a real good run for it-dive on your belly and fly over iced up rock islands in the lake!! When i was 6-7-8 years old i used to dread the looooong hikes to my dads favorite ice fishing places until we got there and i could get a nap and then start creating kill the boredom games like sailing over ice covered rocks on my belly!! Now i have a young son who i can't wait to bring out to our special secret fishin spots and see what games he comes up with!!

8 Gulls on an exposed reef that appeared with low water levels Sept. 06 (Brule Lake). I wonder how many motors connected with this and how many lower units were busted off when motors were allowed on the lake, as this reef is out in the middle of the lake and normally under water.

I think that was the campsite just west of the Ojibway/Triangle Lake portage. Nice site with a small beach landing to the left of the rock.
