Alright this is a photo thread so here is a photo challenge:
Anyone recall seeing a movie where the plot twisted around a photograph that got blown up and clues to a whodunnit emerged?
Well here is a reposting of a photo from above with the added challenge - find clues in the photo that may have been overlooked before. Let's see if anyone can first find the clues and then piece together a plausible story tying the clues together.
(FWIW, at least one of the clues completely escaped me when I took the photograph yesterday and it was not until my photograph got blown up by posting it above here on this thread that I first saw it myself.)

There is a couple of crosses at the edge of the trees and a truck in the water along with a couple of moose.
My guess would be the moose killed a couple of hikers and buried them in the trees and tried to dispose of the truck in the pond.
You found the clues. The story is definitely plausible, at least until we get to the part about the moose burying the hikers.
Here are some added photos. Anyone able to explain how the truck ended up in the middle of the lake? (By the way I completely missed seeing the crosses until after the photo was blown up.)

Oh yeah? If those crafty moose could figure out how to open the door of the truck, turn the key to unlock the ignition or start it and then either drive or push it into the pond, I think they could figure out how to bury the bodies or get some of their woodland critters to help.

The driver of the truck had too much to drink.
Definitely one likely scenario. Still puzzling though how that truck made it to the middle of the lake even if it had veered off the road at a high speed. I have an additional explanation, but waiting to see if others here can suggest it first.

OK, it is not yet Friday, but this Wildlife Encounter of another kind from yesterday is just too unique to wait.
It was crazy. I had just had a conversation with an excavator who was doing some work for me and he mentioned that this year was unusual as in his construction work across multiple neighborhoods in my community he had not seen a single bear, when in a typical year he would come across several. He then went on to talk about the other wild animals he ran into in his excavation work and commented that the first one he had encountered when coming to the Northland was a Lynx.
Not more than five minutes later I turned around and there was a Lynx within a stone's throwing distance of where I stood. The Lynx is generally a nocturnal animal that hunts its prey out of human sight and makes few public appearances. In fact in my many years here I have only seen a Lynx in the wild on three occasions, and yesterday's sighting was the third.
And for completeness, here is the excavator at the site who shared the sighting with me:

OK, here is the alternative theory that explains how the pickup may have ended up in the middle of the lake and why there are two crosses on the distant shore.
The difficulty in going with the drunk driver speeding off the road prospect, apart from the distance to the middle of the lake from the road bed, is the positioning of the roadway which runs parallel to the lake rather than pointed in the direction of the lake itself.
The alternative explanation is that the driver of the truck attempted to drive out onto the lake when it was iced over and the vehicle ended up going through the ice with at least two of its occupants drowning. The fact that the crosses are located on the opposite shore of the lake may indicate that the vehicle occupants may well have resided in the area and would explain why the vehicle would be crossing the frozen lake in the first place. The recency of the accident is suggested by the flower memorials seen along with the crosses suggesting that the event had just occurred this winter.
To date I have not located a newspaper account verifying either of the alternative explanations or some other.
