Isle Royale Forums

Since I imagine many of us are dreaming about future trips, here's a little game to play.

Post a photo from somewhere in the park, and the rest of us will try to figure out where it is.

I'll start -- if you've been here, you know it:

this is a guess---I haven't been exactly there, just there-ish. Is it the powderhouse at Senter Point?

Senter Point?

I'll dig through some unpublished photos to see if I have anything slightly mysterious.

Also: what is the code for posting photos the way you just did it?

torpified wins! (And Kelly is a close second by about 2 minutes.) This is the powderhouse on Senter Point, which stored explosives for the Island Mine. It's an easy and well-worth-it bushwhack.

Kelly - when posting, click "Full Editor & Preview" and then upload a photo using the "Attachments" tab. There is a place next to each upload where you can write a caption. In that tab, click "Insert Inline" and it will put some code that you can move around to put photos wherever you want them.

(@dcclark Thanks for the user help!)

This thread looks familiar!

@Kelly -- hmmm, that looks familiar. Maybe somewhere along the Rock Harbor trail (like the Siskiwit mine)? I have no idea what the boxes are for though.

@Kelly: ooooo---I don't think I've seen or heard tell of those. I'd say that I was stumped, only all the trees in the picture are intact. So:

I'm going to guess in the vicinity of Daisy Farm, just because there seems to be a lot of vestigial infrastructure there. It's not a great guess though: the boxes look like they're actually in use!

dcclark wins! I never noticed them, until one day a couple of years ago a shaft of sunlight hitting the box on the left attracted my attention. I'm impressed--I really thought that one would be harder.

@torpified for what it's worth, they're closer to Three Mile than to Daisy Farm.

I am the sort of person who you'll sometimes come across on the trail, standing and staring into the woods because I thought I saw something interesting. Still have no clue what those boxes are for, though!

I'm curious to know who else has some good mystery photos!

Click on the link that I posted above to a previous thread that is similar to this thread.

Indeed, that's a fun thread! And it looks like it has had its run. Curious to see what new things we can come up with (not necessarily campgrounds) here.

Just had some fun reading through the old thread(s). Will try and come up with something new in the next day or two.
