Title: July 2010 - Info re Ptolemy?
Post by pine_knot on Sep 28^th, 2009 at 2:22pm

Making plans with my 18- and 20-year old sons for 10-14 days in early-July 2010...looking to explore Kahshahpiwi area. Has anyone been to Ptolemy in the past few years/ Anyone know of anyone? Wondering whether it's possible to get there and if so from which direction and how difficult? Any campsites? Water clarity and depth? Appreciate any info/advice. Please pm if desired.

PM Stumpy...on second thought, it's a lake with a name...he's probably never been there... ;)

I was in Ptolemy a few years back. We came in from Agnes and left down the dreek at the east end of the lake. It's a long way in from Agnes and the creek is steep. We found a nice camp site, rarely used, on a point a little to the west of the center of the lake. There are fish in Ptolemy, but I couldn't catch one. A very pretty lake. If I were going back, and I might, I'd enter and leave via the creek-side hill.

If you think I can help further, let me know.

Tim

Well there you go Pine Knot !
I should have read this before my long winded answering of your PM with mostly conjecture.
Old Salt was right though, it's got a name and I ain't been there.
I've been to Dettbarn........and that's got a name.
