Missing Camper at Baker Lake

Post by Jakefish » Wed Jun 21, 2017 8:13 am

A reminder to us all to be careful up there. I know we lost a fisherman up there last year as well.

WOW, lets hope he turns up. That is a weird story to read, he went to the bathroom and never came back just disappeared without a trace.

But yes a reminder to all to watch out and be safe!

He probably headed east to go potty, turned around a couple times to find the right spot. Then headed east, south, or north instead of west to go back to camp. It happens, especially in the dark and rain.

His body was actually found about a month later.

That was the fisherman from last year. This new person went to the restroom and has not been seen after that.
