Beaver, Loons, Eagle, Bear cub, Crow, Pileated, Chipmunk Buzzards

Some fish but poor fishing. Mosquitoes only One evening.
All in all a strenuous Trip. Wind on the Water kicked our butt's several days. Lale One to Alice lake and back in 6 days. Done.

Glad you had a good trip. It has been a long time since I took a group of boys up from our former church. I believe it was 2000. I know it was during a year with higher fire danger, lower water and really needing to be careful with our campfires.

You worked so hard you bent the blade on your paddle. smile I see the regrowth is coming back nice and thick in the Pagami fire scar. Dog hair thick Jackpine and Balsam regrowth with bone dry lightning rods scattered around. What could go wrong?


I have nothing clever to put here.

The Burn Area Was over 75% of what we traveled through...It has its own Strong Regenerative beauty.
