So you know where this is? Are you letting others have a guess? I look forward to traveling this route again, and spending more time though.

Yes, I know where this is, but I'll let somebody else guess. I already have more than my fair share of pics on this thread.

Yup, one of the reasons I love this place :). Great spot to sit and watch the sunrise. I was thinking about posting a pic from the same spot next, but you beat me to it.

Ingo, you can still post that picture. I am sure that I'm not the only one who would like to see it! :D

It is not Chippewa Harbor. You cannot hike/backpack to this location, but you can maybe swim, although I wouldn't recommend it! :shock:

Thanks Ingo for posting your picture! It is a great shot with nice color. It is hard to improve on mother nature.

I don't believe I have been there; Belle Isle camp. :?:

You are correct, jrwiesz! You will like Belle Isle when you eventually camp there! You are up to post the next picture.
