Isn't that the craziest looking lake you ever saw? Instead of a lake with 14,582 islands they could just as well have called it the land with 14,582 lakes! Larry On Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:50:02 -0400 <htmills@zoominternet.net> writes:

That really sounds excellent! I recommend, if you have a high-speed connection, turning on the satellite view on the map at that web page and zooming in, especially on the northern and eastern part of the lake. WOW! A body could get LOST up there.

Dear Listers,

I was speaking of the beautiful, massive Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota and thinking either a week cruise or participating in the annual "Lowisa" regatta would be a tremendous sailing experience. The lake has 65,000 miles of shoreline, 14,582 islands, is 90 miles long and 55 miles wide. Some of the best fishing in the world. See: http://www.lakeofthewoodsmn.com/maps.asp

Larry, our sistership M17's, Corndog and Bonita, need to meet each other and go out and romp... Two older yellow hulled Monty's would have people scratching their eyes to see if they were seeing double!

The Lowisa takes place first week of August, I think this year is the 43rd.

Fun stuff to ponder.

Bones
