sns	02/01/2023 03:40PM   Just finished a few hours drive coming back from the Driftless, only to discover that my fellow Blackwater paddler Banksiana has ended NTL #11 - it is Burke! And indeed - smaller is all relative, isn't it? You are up, Banksy!
Jackfish	02/02/2023 10:57AM   Awwww man... I was 50/50 on Burke or Poacher and went with Poacher. Good job, Banks. Bring on the next one!

LarryS48	01/31/2023 10:46AM   Lonely, if it’s an older picture. If it’s where I think it is, it’s probably burned now.
sns	01/31/2023 09:30AM   Still north of the border, I am afraid. Smaller lake in Quetico, facing SW.
sns	01/31/2023 11:02AM   Reasonable question, Larry, given the fire history... So another clue: this photo is from summer '22, and this lake was not impacted by fires - likely not during any of our lifetimes, anyway.

Banksiana	02/03/2023 01:05PM   Jackfish: "Awwww man... I was 50/50 on Burke or Poacher and went with Poacher. Good job, Banks. Bring on the next one!" It was the second photo. There is a nice campsite hidden in a sheltered depression behind the vantage point that the photo is taken. If you scale the rock from where the photo is taken down to the water there is one of the finest swimming rocks in the park- a level rectangle of rock that meets deep, deep water, a couple of footholds under the water to get you out.

TreeBear	02/01/2023 10:08AM   Though it fits my high school memories of Munro, that doesn't fit the description. Emerald?

Stumpy	02/04/2023 01:19AM   LOL ! You would think I'd known. I've only crossed it 100 times or more !
sns	01/31/2023 10:47PM   Another part of this lake; looking SW. The island straight out in the middle of the photo has a campsite and blocks the view of one of the three portages you can use to get to/from this lake.
Banksiana	02/01/2023 09:33AM   Burke! Got confused by the descriptive "smaller".
LarryS48	02/01/2023 12:09PM   Sunday But is that small?
sns	02/01/2023 07:58AM   This lake is close to the perimeter...take one of the portages plus a short paddle, and you are out of the park.
