I really like this location, I just wish I could remember how to get back there. A good friend of mine took me there and all I can tell you is that there were a million beaver dams that we had to climb over. Plus the black flies were hidious.
Aparently during the fur trade, this lake was a good hiding place for maurading pirates looking to pilage rum and gun powder from unsuspecting voyageur canoes.
And what plein air painting trip would be complete without losing one of my shoes in a murky swamp hole and having to wrap duct tape around my foot as a make shift shoe. Thanks McGeyver!
Man! I wish I would have been with you on this trip. It sounds like so much fun! I'll check the BWCAW Fisher maps and see if I can find any location that looks vaguely like this. Maybe you can plan a Plein Air canoe trip class, and see if you remember any of the locations? Maybe you'll even find your show. I'll keep you posted on progress. Nice painting, by-the-way. ~hkjb
ReplyDeleteFind your shoe. Not show. You could have a show. In the middle of the woods. That might be fun.
