I'll have to check but I think this was included in his first fishing guide book that I bought about that time?

You have a good memory, ST!  I remembered it, as well, from the 1994 version of Furtman's "A Boundary Waters Fishing Guide" that still sits in a prominent spot on my bookshelf.  This piece appears as a sort of "epilogue" to the text. 

I'm glad to see it being referenced, still.  I know I've referred to it many times over the years in various conversations.  It's a real gem.

I may not actually BE "physically" up there when MY time rolls around.  However, you can bet some similar reminisces will be among the cherished memories I dwell upon during those last moments.

Hmmm, much hallowed ground where we've known and shared peace and great beauty; sounds to me like the ideal spot to ease into whatever comes next.

Thanks for re-posting, TomT!
