Re: Guess What Campground?
Ingo, I was just going to concur with treeplanter before you responded. The sunrise was a good hint. I thought that looked like Cemetery Island on the left.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I’ll try the new “guess where we are” thing.
Hints: Pic is taken on the Minong Trail, within 20 minutes of the McCargoe Cove Campground. It is a named landmark that is shown on most (all?) topo maps of Isle Royale. It is NOT shown on the IR map in the Greenstone newspaper. If you know your trees, especially genus/species, you should be able to figure this out.

Pine Mountain.
"And standing on the the crest of the Greenstone Ridge, I suddenly had this desire to retreat north to where I just come, to stay in the backcountry, to spend another day in a place where the only deadline I had was to pitch the tent before dark."

Re: Guess What Campground?
This one is maybe more difficult. I'd give a hint right away but I could be wrong.

Re: Guess What Campground?
See. I knew the slightest hint would make it too easy.
Taken from the Tobin Harbor dock next to the Seaplane dock.
Here's the same location looking pretty much North
There are some nice sunsets from there but the star watching has too much light pollution from Thunder Bay.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I've been to Tobin Harbor dozens of times. It just took me awhile to put it together.
Here's another campground pic.
