Indeed. Then I saw their video from one year later where they couldn’t catch a walleye to save their lives in the same spots. Ain’t that just the way it goes?

Sent you an email. I don't want to post the vid in this context with the lake named on a public forum.

Here is a video of me and Bayla, my dog. The video is taken from the beach at a resort you can paddle into the BWCA from. The video, at least to me, is very beautiful in its simplicity. If you read the description, it offers a clue. This will require a little deeper knowledge than the Echo Shores one. (To Bayla, still missing you everyday...every hour)


BWCA Area Resort

Ladybug?


There are a few good clues in that photo but when I try to enlarge it gets too distorted.

That's the one.


I was trying to discern an unnamed lake from a youtube video. After looking up that resort and the satellite imagery and comparing to the video, that's definitely the spot. At first i had thought it was on one of the long, narrow arms of Birch Lake. Spent a lot of time researching resorts on Birch and thought it might be River Point.

When I was younger it was called Shig-Wak. I think the name changed in the 90s??

That would be fun. I don't have enough non-obvious photos to start that game but I'd sure like to play. It could be resorts/outfitters/cooperators!

Nice video. You can see the strong bond between you and your pup, so sorry for your loss.

I believe it was unoccupied for a while. The new owners did a good job fixing it up.
