BWCA Campsite 1404 on Kekekabic

This one was a little hard to find because the map I had showed it in the wrong spot. It is a lot farther southwest along the shoreline than many maps show. The landing looked almost like an animal trail, with only a very small clearing in the brush. It is brushy, narrow, and I expect it would be even harder to find after the leaves and brush fill in. The trail leads up to a very small clearing in the trees. It looks like almost no one stays here. There was no charcoal in the fire grate, and even the latrine trail was starting to get overgrown with raspberry bushes and thorny growth. The entire campsite is basically a circle about 15 feet in diameter, surrounded by brush. I could fit one tent here, but it would not be a good tent pad. I noticed some tall birch trees that helped set the site apart from the rest of the shoreline, but otherwise the area is just brush all around. This is a usable emergency site, but I would only want it if everything else were taken and I were desperate.

Had to camp here 5/13/17 because all other sites on the W/SW end of the lake were taken. (and we had traveled ~13 hrs already) 1 star because it has a fire grate and a latrine but that is all it has. The landing is overgrown with brush. Pretty much just a last choice bivouac site.
