	Stumbled across this the other day, not sure if it's a repeat for you folks but new to me. Surprised myself how many i got and i'm a 'newbie' having only been to the Q a total of 4 times and using the same entry each time. Can you name the 200 largest named lakes in Canada's Quetico Provincial Park? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I can barely spell or pronounce the few I know.

	It took me a few tries to spell "Kahshahpiwi" right. I thought that quiz was really neat. I added one to just try out the system. Can you name the lakes between International Falls and Lake Superior along the border? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

This is actually pretty cool. I got 89 of 200, including the top 19. I'm solid on the north half of the Park, not so much on the southern half. I know the major border lakes, and the popular lakes in the southern half, but that's about it.

	I'm embarrassed to say I only got 59. I thought I would do much better considering all of my "mapping" experience. I was solid in the north, but those lakes are big and not as numerous. I was much weaker in the south since I've never been there.
