Pike Lake, Hermantown, MN

I don't know of any drop offs at the east end of the lake but there is one shown on maps on the South side on the Western  end of the lake in front of Brett Hulls place. (that is the sprawled out brick place) I heard that Brett Hull broke up with his wife and she got the house in town and he got the one on Pike Lake. The place that we set tents up at is a aunt of a friend of ours Her name is Chess and she will turn 102 years old in a month. She was driving a car at 101 years but now she is in a oldsters home. She is as sharp as a tack. She had owned the cabin since 1940 and the inside of it is like walking into a time warp. There is a small creek just south of her cabin and she said that her relatives found arrow heads in the creek back in the 1960's. This old gal used to work at the Duluth Tribune I guess. There is a preacher named Thor that lives just North of her cabin. Jeno Palucci (the pizza Baron) has the green house with the yellow trim on the South side of the lake and Jeno bought the whole peninsula. I would hate to see what his taxes are as Taxes are based on lineal footage of lake shore. He must have 800' to 1000' of lakeshore. The grounds keeper is all that we have seen after the 12 times we have been on the lake. I kinda think that there would be a thousand baseball caps on the bottom between the points, as most boats leave the walleye fishing area and open up the throttle about there.
