Another look s/w

Based on the depth of ski tracks and the angle of snowdrifts, and the position of the clouds, this has got to be Silaca.

More seriously, my train of thought was that this had to be someplace relatively close to an EP because not many winter trips go EXTREMELY far in, and it'd probably be close to Ely because I'd guess not many winter trips start at remote EPs. You had a view looking southwest that looked like the lake was mostly angled NE/SW. Another SW view looked like it was going out a creek. The N view was towards a portage in a little bay or something.

So looking at a map starting around the Ely area, Silaca looked like it matched all of that. :)

I'll get a new thread up soon.

And I thought it was the clouds that gave it away:)
