The Minnetokas contain pike and 
pickerel, introduced lake-trout, large- 
mouth bass, wall-eyed pike, sunfishes 
of three varieties, croppies, calico bass, 
perch and rough fish, of course. Some 
of the tribe of Esox (the pike) in this 
lake run to twenty-five pounds weight. 
Ten and fifteen-pounders are caught 
very often, and one winter night three 
pike weighing sixteen, eighteen and 
twenty pounds were caught not far 
apart on lines through the ice in one 
bay. 
Leaving our camp at Maxwell’s Bay 
we walked overland to Lakes Inde- 
pendence and Half Moon, where we 
spent a couple of enjoyable days. We 
had intended to fish Lake Sarah also, 
but abandoned that because we had 
such a great amount of water to cover 
during the summer. Returning to Max- 
well’s Bay we rowed westward into 
the west arm of the lake, landed at 
Spring Park for supplies, then pur- 
sued our course into Harrison’s Bay 
and thence by channels entering Cook’s 
Bay one windy afternoon. 
We ran into the City of Mounds, now 
called Mound, to pay the place our 
respects. Here the woods and sur- 
rounding country contains numerous 
mounds, made by the Mound Builders 
in the long ago. These mounds, er- 
roneously designated as graves, are 
sometimes great in size and others but 
one to four feet off of the earth’s level 
and six to ten feet in length. 
This was later the favored land of 
the Dacotahs. Here they had their 
head villages ; here their birch bark 
canoes cut through the limpid waters 
in the long ago. Not far distant ran 
the old St. Anthony trail, leading from 
the west to the Falls of St. Anthony, 
which are now harnessed for power 
and which have helped to make Minne- 
apolis one of the leading cities in the 
country. 
C ROSSING Cook’s Bay we went into 
camp on a peculiar peninsula that 
thrusts itself out into the lake and 
which is known as Hardscrabble Point. 
It is so-called owing to its make-up, 
a mass of boulders great and small, 
the fore part of it being rather nar- 
row with a back or ridge that per- 
mits of hardly more than a footpath. 
However, where the point broadens out 
and merges with the dense woods in 
back there is a generous open space 
with more or less flat ground and 
June grass sod. Here we pitched our 
camp under a gnarled white oak tree 
with a view out upon both sides of 
the lakes. 
It was a camping spot par excel- 
lence; a camping spot that it would 
be hard to forget. Hot, sultry days 
came upon us when one must needs 
gasp for breath and when we looked 
inquiringly toward the west as if in un- 
derstanding that it could last only 
so long before an outbreak. 
Came a stifling Sunday and a day 
that followed it of grim heavenly prep- 
arations; when the hammer of Thor 
rapped out a tatoo on the steel metal 
walls of Valhalla; dark clouds rolled 
up and the shades of night fell with
