<quote>dasunt: "We are planning a 7 day/6 night route from EP 27 to Eddy Lake and back.

We are hoping for some comments on the route and what to see and do.

Also, there's one rest day planned and a half day or two planned.  Any suggestions on where to take them?

The route will be:

1. Snowbank to Boot
2.  Head east through Haven/Abinodji/Swing/Gibson to Cattyman
3.  Then through Jordan, Ima, Thomas and Fraser
4.  North through Gerund/Ahmakose/Wisini/Strup to Kek
5.  East through Kek ponds and Eddy Lake 
6.  West through Knife lake and the border route to Birch, Sucker, and Newfound
7.  East to Ensign
8.  South through Boot again and Snowbank.

If weather is bad or progress is slowed, we'll short-cut from Kek through Pickle/Spoon/Bonnie to Knife and/or short-cut from Knife through Vera to Ensign.

The only sights we know on the route that we want to see are the falls at Cattyman and Ensign, and Bacon rock.  What else is there?

Any other comments or suggestions?
