P.S.  Perhaps the poet Robert Owen had it right when he said:

“All the world is queer save thee and me... and even thou art a little queer.”

― Robert Owen


THAT famous line takes on a WHOLE different meaning nowadays doesn't it. Sad

"I can't see someone in this person's position as being a risk to a healthy party of 2 or 4 people."

depends on how you define risk I guess - I could see some nutcase sneaking into a camp at night and stealing your canoe and food bag - that alone would be really unpleasant if it was your only canoe and you were in the middle of Q.  hell if it was me (It's not, me, is it?) I'd steal all your canoes so you couldn't go for help, and I'd be more mobile.

Mad Matt,
I knew it couldn't be you 'cause you wouldn't stay in one area for that long.

Looks like the guy was found and taken into custody. All lakes reopened.

I swear this the weirdest story I've ever heard. There was one a few years back that was still in the news lately. I understood that one more when it first appeared.

So does anyone have a link to a reputable news report detailing the complete incident from beginning to end?

You could try the Ely Echo newspaper or Timberjay newspaper in Tower, MN.

What incident?

From what I've read the guy was shoeless. Er not. Er homeless, er a survivalist er…….

What's odd is closing that area of the park? There but for the grace of God go I.

I couldn't find anything about the "incident" at all in those two newspapers IC linked me too?

It seem a little strange that there isn't more news about this considering they shut an area down over it?

I talked to Q-Dave last night about another issue and before we ended our conversation, he asked me what I knew about the guy running around the woods in the Crooked Lake area? He heard about in Atikokan. He said the reports he heard said the guy was bothering paddlers and was acting "strange" Undecided

I told him just what I read on the BWCA forum and people here had talked about. I said that it was my understanding they found the guy and brought him out, so it's kinda weird they're isn't more info about what exactly happened and who the guy is?
