What does it mean?


While tromping through the bush I came across this interesting rock pile. It is basically one large flat rock being held up by a long, narrow rock. It is hard to tell from the pics but the big rock is likely over a hundred and fifty pounds and the narrow one maybe fifty pounds. I’m thinking it would have been difficult to maneuver them into this position if, for some strange reason, you had an inkling to do so. The real bizarre thing is this rock pile is way back behind the lodge in the middle of nowhere! It was a bit of a coronary inducer to get back there on snowshoes. My theory is that at one time these rocks were this link entwined in the roots of a tree which was blown over in a windstorm (very common on these rocky areas). The result was this unusual formation. The tree has long since disappeared. On the other hand perhaps the original Ojibway inhabitants around Eagle Lake had a special purpose for this, or they were just goofing around. Perhaps it was a bear looking for bugs. Who really knows? What is your theory?

This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.

This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
