Beerman is right on the typo. It is ENE.

mr. barley gets an extra pick for being the 1st to point it out.
and moose plums and a couple others have double picked, voiding their 2nd guesses. (but der still wrong so don't pick'em)

I called the Capitol for a ruling and yes, sorry Vanny but your answer is disqualified because you were on the trip and used insider information.

So..... Barley WINS!!!!!!!

The pic is from the small shallow lake north of Elm that is connected via the creek. Do we call the lake: North Elm, Little Elm, or Nightmare on Elm Lake? We did see a cow and calf moose bedded down on 'big' Elm as it is a nice quiet lake.

So barley gets to post the next pic.
