In the BWCA.....Photo 1 looking south....

Hustler

GopherAdventure: "Hustler"

Funny, that's exactly what I was going to choose.
I'll go a little north and try Rocky.

Pocket

Zephyr

Finger

Iron

After paddling through several portages and finding most campsites occupied, I finally found one that was still open and quite appealing.....

Little Shell

Little Caribou

Horseshoe

That would be that 4 star site on Boulder Bay on LLC...except the fireplace is in the wrong place :)

Polly

Lake Four?

Stuart

West pike

Pine

Well, I mean this in the best way, but nobody has been very close....here's a photo facing southwest......and a photo facing northwest....are those palm fronds??

I expect my next photos will totally give it away....

Tiger bay

Takucmich

Trident

Poobah

South Arm of Knife

If your finger wasn't in the way blocking some of the scenery in that first photo, I might be able to figure it out!! :)

Cherokee

LOL!! That happens a lot with my little Nikon point and shoot....about the size of my palm and so fingers tend to hang where they shouldn't....like too close to the lens.... :-)

Gordon

Little Sag

Looks like a stream trout lake?

South Kawishiwi River

South Temperance

Well, time to end with a winner. Try to ignore the fish in the first pic, which is facing northwest. Son hooked into it as I paddled from the stern. Son said, "Dad, I think this is a big one". I merely replied, "Uh huh." Son says, "No, Dad, this one's huge" When it went nuts next to the canoe and almost spooled him, I realized it was a big one. I paddled a couple hundred feet to a small island, where we landed it and took the quick photo. Then spent 5 minutes or more to get him revived before he swan back to the depths. 41 inches with a huge girth.

The second photo is my son taking a well-deserved rest about 200 yards from the first photo. This photo is an iconic spot in the BWCA.

Awesome fish and great spot to stop for a lunch, but not so much to camp.

Crooked

MikeinMpls: "Crooked"

yes, that's the winner.

Pineknot, is that campsite 1853 then?

Heritage

If someone had only >read< a book about Crooked Lake, they would have gotten it with that last pic!

I will post something tonight.

Mike

Oh wow, good old Table Rock.
