PK, I hate to disagree (...not really) but I gotta side Solus.  Those were both taken at the same campsite on Robinson - which is the one we also stayed at on the 2019 trip.  Compare the shore line and hills in the back ground and that one bushy branch hangin' in the center or upper right on each pic.  Plus - your BWCA.com photo gallery has a pic titled Rain on Robinson with the same tree in the foreground as the one you're calling McIntyre.

This looks like the Robinson fireplace. I really enjoy that site. Luna loved that swimming area. Except for the naked dudes...  🤣 Shocked

Yup Tom and you can be assured many a red pine log has been burned in that pit.  That sandy beach is definitely a perk, especially for Luna.  Now a naked dog can hardly complain about naked people, but yeah - better watching her run around and swim than a bunch of old fat dudes in their bday suits!  Grin

Even better than the beach is the swimming rock on the other side of the point. Immediate deep water access from a couple of feet above the surface. Nice set of natural steps to climb out (and plunge again). A very nice site despite its level of use and the aggressive chipmunks.

PK,

Today's POD is another one of those that could be in any of 100 places.  I'm going to guess it was taken in the Kett-to-Basswood vicinity, possibly during that trip when TomT had a screw loose.  Yes/no?

How far off am I?

Jimbo   Cool

Jimbo.  Yes.  Today's POD is that last portage through the blowdown area leading to Basswood and Kings Point.  As I recall, you loved the ordeal from Robinson that included the steep uphill climb/cliff wall from Nub to unnamed, the steep decline into Kett and then the two longish portages to get into Kings Point.  At the campsite, I asked what you thought of the trek...your reply was a silent stare, but if looks could kill....well....   Wink Cool

Some nightmarish memories get etched into one's mind.

I remember drowning my woes in song along that portage.  It actually wasn't as bad as some of the others... just longish & back-to-back.

Long it is, but the stretch from the no-name to the descent into the swamp is one of the most beautiful bedrock trails in the park, rivaling that wonderful rock crossing between no-name and Earl on the southern route from McIntyre.
