So last May - while camping on Fourtown - at the site right at the first set of rapids leading to Horse - (the one that has the portage site on it... - anyways - behind the toilet was 1 (one) boot. It looked like an old Matterhorn or jungle boot.

We made up stories on why it was there including the owner poo'd on his shoe so he had to leave it there, or was hidden by a "jackass" of a friend.... or left there by a veteran remembering a fallen friend.

Any other theories? (Fun or possibly factual welcome).

I don't know, but it may be connected to the one shoe you see on the side of the road.

Maybe it was the SOLE survivor of tragic accident.

This.

Big Foot could not eat all of his lunch.

It was boring, to boot.

Sounds like a book title.

"50 Yards to the Outhouse" by Willie Makeit.

He didn't make it.

I suspect the boot is there so that campers can kick the crap out of themselves. Its very useful if you get a little backed up after eating camp food for a week.

Did you hear about the shoe store that burned down? Over a thousand soles were lost.

quote nofish: "I suspect the boot is there so that campers can kick the crap out of themselves. Its very useful if you get a little backed up after eating camp food for a week."

With no Med Centers in the area, it's a good way to HEEL that condition. Were there directions on the boot, like "TONGUE in CHEEK"?

This reminds me of the cannibal who passed his brother in the woods. Perhaps it's a similar situation.

Its where the wild guy first decided to start his epic adventure in the parks earlier this summer. As he sat there, contemplating life and the questionable choice of old summer sausage and cheese that had seen better times for lunch, a vision came to him of running wild and free in the Canadian shield. Off came the boots and there they sat next to the throne. One was eventually taken by an industrious pine squirrel to have a new addition to his nest so there was a space for it's mother in law to visit.

The rest is history.

It was Aarons. That's why that dude was walking around in the Q And bwca barefoot. DAH.

The other one is up in a tree that a feller was using to get a line over a branch to hang his bear bag.....saw that a few years ago. not a good idea.

Maybe it was Long Silver's John.

That's a good one. Working on it, but that is so clever I may as well give up.
Bravo!

Its there for if the latrine is full

I wouldn't worry too much unless 20 yards back in the woods you found the other in a pile of bear scat

Improvised magazine rack?

One croc by a tree on a Willow Flowage site. People forget stuff, they also litter. I try to follow the rules thinking good karma has my back.

That's the other author... Andy Didn't.

Coauthors?? Then there is "Wet and Wild" by Rusty Zipper.

An interesting read from back in the day, or so I was told...

Spots on the wall, by

Sorry, couldn't resist

That one was illustrated by Betty Won't

Perhaps it's the mate of one in a deep fissure in the rock at a campsite I visited in June with my boys. There was a single boot, and numerous articles of clothing and other items. It was too narrow and deep to retrieve anything, or we would have packed it all out.

When I first saw it there, I started looking for bones. It was eerie. I can't remember, at the moment, exactly where it was, except that it was one of the sites we visited while on the Sioux-Hustler loop.
