Not sure, but could it be that rock that sits on the southern shoreline of Quetico a little past the halfway mark from Beaverhouse to Conk?? Didn't recall that rock being that high though but good smallies around that rock.....

Never been to Quetico lake. It just got me frustrated of where I took the picture. Been in the Sarah-Joyce lake country thru Agnes Area.

Mocha: "could be the big rock in Ham lake, or Frost lake....."
I think it’s too close to shore to be the big rock on Frost. Unless the picture angle is throwing it off somehow.
And there’s a flatter island behind it, so definitely not Frost.

We camped on Shade on our 1977 Quetico trip. Because I have just written the trip report, I can say that with some confidence. It seems to me if there had been a rock like that in the lake I would have taken a picture. But then, how does one remember why one did things in 1977?
I will be interested if you get any information to answer your question.

I know that I suggested once it was Shade. I checked last time I went through- not Shade. Thinking it might be the entrance to Silence on the S-chain, but it's been a long time since I've been that way.

That is a possibility-we were there once? We came in thru Agnes.

Could it be in Boulder Bay? Just west where the outflow from the Dahlgren R goes into Boulder Bay from Stuart Lake? There's a good-sized boulder near the shoreline....

Mocha: "Ok. Make a list of where you HAVE been and we can work off that. :)
Or, are you sure you took the photo?"
LOL! I thought the same thing a little bit ago.... :-)

GraniteCliffs: "Did you come down from Kawnipi south of Rose Island? I vaguely recall some larger rocks shortly before the first portage out of Kawnipi. "
I did a couple of times, I have to get my trip dates down, trouble is my years are melting together, We went from Agnes-Kawnipi- Cairn-Sark-Keefer etc.

Ima rock it is.
Okay I backtracked to another trip that year into the Thomas area. Also
I had a Guide for summer Boy Scouts all summer look at it and identify it as the rock on Ima just before you go into Jordan portage.
Well I was off only one country and 25 miles.

Wow. Wish I had taken a photo when we came through there in 1974--it would have been a nice addition to my recent trip report. I do not remember the rock. But it was pouring rain the entire day and I didn't do photographs. I just paddled, portaged, and (probably) griped. I didn't even take a picture of Cattyman Falls!
Glad that you have your mystery solved.

Cool!! I'll be passing right by your neat rock on or about June 9 on an 18-night solo trip....have to try and get a pic on the same angle to compare photos... :-)

Yes it would be nice to get another certification of it.

I am disappointed that you figured it out, missed a goal in Quetico next year.
Oddly, I expect to pass through Ima June 3-4 on a solo. I would have been shocked to see it but will now look for it.
Now you get to sleep at night!

Well a Eagle Scout that guided all summer for the Boy Scouts out of Moose lake. Now he better be right, scouts never lie.
That picture was taken on a 1988 spring trip up to Thomas and beyond.
