Mountain Lake to Pine Lake - SD

Published: June 8, 2011, 9:40 p.m.

On a stormy morning we paddle West out of Mountain lake to a steep portage heading south.\xa0 We encounter some heavy rain and lightening as thunder rolls across the the lakes.\xa0 We hunker down at a campsite waiting for the storm to subside and then continue on our way to Pine Lake.\xa0 Just North of Pine Lake we come across a cow moose and her calf.\xa0 The two are standing at the edge of a lake with a picturesque woodland backdrop.\xa0 It was great to see our first moose in the BWCAW.
