Great room, without a view

Pine Lake Campsite on the Border Route Trail (dividing Minnesota from Canada) was a great site. Tall pines surrounded us with plenty of open space and a soft pine floor. Fire pit was nice and open as well. There was no view of Pine Lake from the site but it was just a quick walk down to get nice clear filterable drinking water. The fog was pretty heavy when we were there so no views across the lake but as par for all the BRT sites, I'm sure it was lovely! For us, heading eastbound from the start of the trail, we hit this site on day 3 after 3 days of 18, 12ish and 13 or 14ish mile days. The site is a couple hundred feet below the BRT on the Pine/Pike portage and is just a little less than 1/2 a mile from the main trail.
