the legend of sharlie

Ever yone loves a good legend and we have a great one right here in McCall, Idaho with “Sharlie,” our resident Lake Monster

Big Payette Lake is named af ter Francois Payette, a French Canadian fur trapper who roamed the central Idaho mountains during the early years of the 19th centur y (1800’s)

The natural lake is over 5,000 glacier- car ved acres of clean, still water At its deepest and darkest point, near the Nor thwest shore, the lake is 392 f t deep

The Native Americans who once spent summers in Long Valley were said to fear the calm seemingly bottomless waters of the lake, telling stories of an evil spirit that lurked in its hidden depths.

was by a railroad logging crew. In 1920, while cutting railroad ties near the upper end of the lake, workers thought they saw a for ward Then the log began to undulate. Then the ‘log’ created its own wake as it rapidly lef t the area

North Beach

The Nor th Beach Unit is ac tually a par t of the Ponderosa State Park system Nor th Beach is by far the largest public beach on Payet te Lake and a per fec t place to spend a sunny af ternoon

In 1944, a group of people near the Narrows saw a creature, describing it as, “At least 35 feet long, with a dinosaur-t ype head, pronounced jaw, humps like a camel, and shell-like skin ” This dramatic account propelled the stor y into the national headlines, and serpent hunters began to frequent the tranquil area to snap a photo of the creature or even capture it outright An ar ticle published in the nationally distributed Times Magazine in August of 1944, repor ted that 30 people had seen the periscope-shaped head of the creature they called “Slimy Slim” since July 2 of that year

In 1946, t went y people in a group repor ted seeing the creature. Dr. G. A . Taylor, of Nampa, stated that it appeared to be 40 feet long and seemed to keep diving down into the water y depths. He also said that it lef t a wake like a small motor boat

By 1954, many people had repor ted sightings of Slimy Slim, and residents decided their local monster needed a better name. A Boone McCallum, editor of the Star News, held a national contest, and the winning entr y was submitted by LeIsle

she wrote, “ Why don’t you call him Sharlie? you know, like ‘ Vas you der, Sharlie? ” This was a reference to a one-liner used by Jack Pearl in a popular radio show.

Regular sightings of Sharlie have been repor ted over the years, up. Regardless, the residents of McCall need no proof to know she (yes, Sharlie is a she) is real Her legend continues to grow, adding imagination and myster y to the of McCall

Have you been luck y enough to see Sharlie?

sun warms the soil earlier than other areas As the season progresses, you can wander toward nor th-facing slopes

2 Morels love trees While these mushrooms of ten grow wherever the wind blows them, you can usually rely on

beneath the shelter of trees, along the edge of forested areas And don’t discount dead or dying trees – they can of ten be a haven for Morels

3 Keep soil t ypes in mind w scouting for these mush Morels like loamy soil that is welldrained. They of ten thrive in disturbed ground such as that found in burn sites or logging areas

huckleberry picking
