Boot Lake Postcards Here are two new photos of the lake taken around the 1930's time frame. The first is a collage of Pine Ridge Lodge shots showing the area cabins and the lake, you may have to zoom in to see all the details. The second is a very unique postcard of the CCC camp located across county T by the campground their is a sign over there commemorating the work they did during the depression building roads, campgrounds, and basically opening up the area. I wonder what those guys would think of the area now. Kurt

Here's how you got the word out about your business before social media. Just think $5.00 a day and only two turns up from Chicago! Kurt
Postcard from the 1940's of Pine Ridge Lodge "Pump Room". Behind the bar are Bud Erler along with his father ( Frank and John's father and grandfather). Note the photos along the top of the walls, they are of famous boxers who used to come to the lodge to practice. Kurt
Boot Lake Water Data for 2018 (updated 8/20/18) Here is the 3rd and last lake data for the year. I was a little surprised at some of the readings. The water surface temps went down a little over July as expected, but in August the temps stayed the same down to 15 feet at 77.1 degree and below that increased at least 1 degree from previous readings down to the bottom. Additionally, you would expect the secchi clarity depth to decrease due to algae and plant growth in the water, but this month stayed the same as July. Amy did note that while filtering the water for the chlorophyll test the filter media had a slight greenish hue, but not enough to affect the water clarity. Kurt
