I got some great pics of the moon setting on the far shore while the sun was rising on the east side. Most people don't realize there is a smaller camp/fire ring on the east side close to the main shore that is much better protected in case of foul weather. Fortunately, when we were there it was beach weather. pd When I saw the interior of that spot I knew it couldn't be the strip on Quetico lk. Good to know about that east side site/firepit. I've been by there a couple of times but never stayed. I don't like to stay on a big site like that as a solo paddler unless I have no other options. Especially when I know it is a very well known and popular spot for people who want to basecamp for a while and fish the meat hole. I want the solitude but not at the expense of a larger party that is more befitting such a spot.

	When the POD popped up, I had the very same thought ST! Yes, that is a popular spot. We had arrived early in the day and four other groups stopped and asked if we were packing up. A fifth - father/son - camp by so late - near dark in June, we implored them to stay and they did take up that smaller camp. They musta been tired...never did come by the fire for the proffered bit of rum. pd

	This is a fine composition DB. I'm curious, do you have any formal photo training? Your eye is fairly developed. Get it .. de-veloped. Oh wait, that was a 25 year old joke. And not a real good one either.

Meh, see a picture take a picture. You get what you're given. As for the development humor, that's what took the mystery, challenge and therefore basically the fun out of it for me. Heavy sigh.

	I have looked at today's POD several times now, trying to convince myself that it makes me feel nostalgic for the canoe country. Sigh. Not working. It just makes me feel cold. And glad that I am not there in that place at that time. I remember canoe tripping fondly, and I miss it. But I don't miss a day like that one all that much. I suppose that makes me wimpy. Perhaps, after you have abandoned the canoe tripping scenario, you just remember the sunny days, the smooth waters, the beautiful skies, etc. Unless, of course, you are trying to impress people with what you were able to handle--just ask me about Brule Lake in June of 1992! This POD? Brrr.
