arctic: "Hurlburt Lake, Quetico



"
?

Arctic, is this the campsite on west shore, just north of little feeder stream (which I have never seen), the one with the sandy "beach" area on south side? Stayed there on my first trip to Quetico with my soon-to-be husband. Special memories. Last time we stopped there (13-14 years ago), it was very overgrown and looked little or not used.

I made many bow hunting trips to Salt Fork. The deer like to stay in the non-hunting zones like the golf course.

My dog, not on a leash, holy lake? Wolves were across the lake busting ice, I’m not sure why. Milo was very interested but stayed close thankfully as the ice was pretty marginal

Yes they do and behind the lodge because everyone feeds them. Had to wait for a group of does to get off the fairway to hit our drives from the tee.

Part of a web that appeared overnight. It stretched from the ground to over our heads and kept me from using my hammock for the better part of a day. The dragonfly had previously been decapitated in a ground battle with a wasp near our fire pit.

Loon on Kekekabic, June 16 about 3:38pm, on the Little Islands just north of the Big Island with the campsite. I've been wanting to get to Isle of Pine and Kekekabic since at least 2016, and I finally made it happen, rewarded with trout meals and a pair of loons swimming right up to my canoe in 2-3 feet of water! They were so close, I did not even have to crop this picture - full frame as displayed!

Friends since 1985, paddling in a sunrise of forest fire smoke haze in August, 2021. The BWCAW closed to visitors a day after this photo. The intensity of the drought and fire conditions created a somber experience.

Here’s my contribution to the December photo contest. It’s from about 35 years ago, with my dog-paddling friend Patches. We were paddling my first canoe, a poor young man’s 17’ Coleman Canoe. We were out on Saganaga. Patch’s pack is red, the canoe green, and so there ya go, December’s considerations… ??
