	Where was this picture taken? I knew what I was looking for was very near when I saw the stick leaning to the left near the center of the photo. Several of you have or have seen pictures with that stick in them. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	That can't be right. The sky is always blue there! (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) And with apologies, i've not seen this before.

	DB I had seen your picture and when I saw the stick as seen in my previous post in this thread I knew we were at the place we should come down off of the cliff. The sky was not blue but it was a good day for bushwhacking

	Yahh...I noticed I gave it away when the photo was posted. How about that totally CALM lake. Nice island, over camped tho, in northern part of Sturgeon west of Olifaunt portage area.

	I don't know where you were. I'd guess out there somewhere. My guess is the photographer was at Sandy Beach - just to the left of Naked Bass when looking NW and you or someone was standing. And no, I'm not kidding. I could easily be wrong but what did I win.

	"What do I win?" How about a three day guided wild rice harvesting trip in late August or early September? PJ...where is "that" beach? It isn't where I was in the picture tho...

	PJ and I were thinking the same spot. Naked Bass is the gravelly beach on the next island up. If that's not right I'd guess the Pines due to the point on the left but you can't stand out that far. Can you? Sure looks like a Pickerel horizon though IMO. I'm not a sandy beach camp type guy and all those footprints could be confusing me.

	db & PJ's beach reference is here: 48.602829,-91.325752 I'll guess you were west of Sturgeon Narrows somewhere, but I don't know where.

Attached pic has same trees on the right & the rocky point is approx mid-pic between the canoes (hard to see in that light). "Naked Bass" -- this is the fish-shaped island, eh? I.e., 'Goldfish' shaped -- like the snack food.

	Yep! Meet up with the portage cutters while there. They had just built that bridge. At the time, they didn't know if they were going to keep the bridge up or not.
