That was me & yes, I made it.
That was 13 years ago....don't know if I'd try it these days. There was not much of a "running" start & it was uphill at that.
If the photo is late, don't make special consideration for me.
Thanks

Very cool. I would like to see this, too! Where is this?"
I don't remember the exact coordinates but there are a few miles of hiking trails within the Soudan Mine Park. This rock is adjacent to one of the trails and gravel road.

Hey there 108cneil.
I just bought a book, Dorothy Molter, The Root Beer Lady by Sarah Guy-Levar and Terri Schocke. They are the two women who run The Dorothy Molter Museum.
In the book is the story of the Ribbon Rock! It is actually a natural rock that consists of a banded iron formation. The ribbons are magnetite, jasper & chert. It is believed that it was carried to the region by a glacier. Pretty cool.

I saw the Ribbon Rock for the first time this year. It really is amazing! I need to pick up a copy of that book. I have always been fascinated by people who chose to live life in their own way.
Thanks for the reply!
Happy 4th!

slabs of Graywhacke on La Croix.for years i thought this was some sort of lava flow but a geology map of the BW shows this part of LLC to be all this sort of rock. 
i call this Bath Tub Bay because of the shape of the bay as seen on a map and the smooth shoreline.

I'm fairly certain I've grounded a kevlar into this rock. Was very choppy water and couldn't see it. Just the thunk of my paddle hitting and then that awful scraping sound."
I'm pretty sure my Dad caught a 19 inch smallie off those rocks in 2000.
 Not for contest just sharing. I found this in very low water on Insula. It is clearly notched on one end and beveled to a point on the other. Many people have said this isn't an artifact but I read that very long ago the natives used this sandtone for spear tips. I also know I'm not supposed to remove these from the BWCA but yes, I took it home and it sits on a shelf in my bathroom. I'd love to donate it to a museum and get a professional opinion on the authenticity.

First - to Fitgers1. Thank you, it was a few memories for many and it is many that will never be forgot.
Second - I almost posted this because I love that Rock out of Malberg. 
I love Rocks. My favorite Quote was from one of the guys in this Picture, my buddy Arlo. He says as we left, "A lot of Big Rocks around here, A lot of big Rocks!" HA!!!!!
