Little no name lake between Bentpine and Burntside. My Dad was catching walleye every cast from this island and we found a cool moose skull on the back side.

First solo on Sawbill.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Knife Lake

The river calmly flows, Through shining banks, through lonely glen, Where the owl shrieks, though ne'er the cheer of men Has stirred its mute repose, Still if you should walk there, you would go there again.

campsite on the northeast corner of the lake? If it is, I've camped their too--nice spot, nice vista. Some of my fav photos are of that same view though mine certainly did not have that beautiful of a sky!
