 Clíodhna and I finished the NCT 100 mile challenge last weekend. It was a cumulative 100 miles, not all in one trip.

Great pic! I tried to get a bobcat pic a few weeks ago. You have to look really close like one of those "Find the hidden____________"

Thanks, I think the only reason I was able to get that close was the cat had its attention on a gopher hole! I finally had to whistle to get it to look my way!!

ANOTHER nice pic; great shot! I wonder if a lot of people don't look at this section of the forum because it's down toward the bottom? Or possibly they think only BWCAW pictures are in here and there won't be many this time of the year?

Hobbydog... hoping you understand my comment was in jest. i realize how hard it is to find something "presentable" for this forum.
I totally understand. I don't think photos posted here need to be polished. I like to see everyday photos. You have to admit you were spoiled to be on the Gunflint year round. You have to work a little harder around here to find good subject matter but it is there. Have you found any winter swan hangouts yet?

Love those mallards and the Petroglyphs. I've never seen any of them in person.
Let's see if I can add a waterfowl pic too. It won't be as nice as those mallards, though! This one's for Mocha. A Goldeneye on the west end of Gunflint, near where the Cross River comes in:

ozarkpaddler, those mallards are still swimming around down here, not sure this little stream will freeze of the winter since there is a bit of moving water through it.

More nice pics! For this picture, it's not one I've taken, but one taken OF on the Current River. Headed to work in a few minutes and "Signing off" until the 27th;
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Old boat next to Kendall's Smoke House, Knife Lake MN. I was told it was either Grandpa's or maybe Great Grandpa's.

Some sanding and a little paint it will be good as new! Nice picture. Any idea how old it is?

that is a really cool boat! i esp like the hardware. it looks like a tough ol' skid plate and hand forged, for dragging up on land, rocks, or even ice if need-be. is this your grampa or the grampa of the kendall fish house people? you're pretty crafty, perhaps this could be your winter project!

MHS67, no idea how old it is, but from the iron work I'd guess it was made in the 1920's or 30's? Mocha, no, I am not of the Kendall clan, but the clerk who sold me salmon that day was and referred to it as Grandpa's (or great, can't recall). Wish it was within someone's power to restore it, but I fear this old boat's history has been fully written. Since my first camera I have been drawn to things like buildings, cars, or boats that have been used and then discarded to be reabsorbed by the earth.

Well, 2016 was a good year. Hope 2017 is good for everyone! I do need to take more time looking through the lens though.

Thanks, I should have posted the location....the Red River Valley on the MN side. It is flat, cold and windy in the winter.

I sure agree with you ozarkpaddler, It is a great shot of Mocha's. Also this is my first stop when I come to the site. When I first found this private photography site I asked what the rules were, what could be sent, only BW pictures? Mocha's Quote to me was "pfffffffffff there are no rules!!!" That was a great answer Mocha!

The picture a day thing has been going on for several years now. When I started it the only rules I stated were one a day and something outdoors, but those were more suggestion than rules. The idea was to try get the forum some action and it seems to have done that. For me it was motivation to pick the camera up every day find something unique to photograph. That can be hard sometimes. It seems to go in spurts.

Hobbydog... hoping you understand my comment was in jest. i realize how hard it is to find something "presentable" for this forum. i was very intimidated at first, but have learned quite a bit studying the posted photos and since moving from the gunflint trail to a more populated area, i am struggling to find my focus. this is also the first forum i go to in the morning. i love seeing photos from all over our country, not sure if anyone has posted something from another country (besides Canada, which are also cool).
i sincerely hope we can all keep this monthly thing going and try to encourage others to not only lurk, but to post!
