08/21/2007 01:11PM This is a little late as well. This is on Crab "Creek," 8-18-07. Water pretty much ran out or was dammed up by beavers so it ended up as an entire portage with no trail. Took about 3 hours and got out just at sunset. Fun stuff.

07/30/2007 12:24PM Hey snakecharmer, I actually did slip on the pickup sticks pictured above while carrying the canoe. Well, not exactly "slip" - I put a foot down on one end of one of the logs, which seesawed up and sent my entire leg into the water and muck. Had to toss off the canoe to get my leg out of the muck, and then lift the canoe back up on my shoulders while balancing on the logs. Lesson learned: You not only have to step carefully on the logs, but the place on the log you put your weight has to be supported at both ends. Fortunately, I just got mucky; no family jewels were harmed. Here I am cleaning off the leg when I got to the end at Joyce Lake.

07/28/2007 10:11AM Ho Ho - love that shot of the Kahshahpiwi to Joyce Lakes portage. Quite an engineering feat. But one slip and....it may be remembered as the "Nut Cracker Portage" :-) |

07/25/2007 10:06AM AH! - Water! Sometimes, the best part of a portage. 
|
| Ho Ho |
07/25/2007 06:00AM I love portages. Seriously. Always lots to see. I have tons of pictures taken along them. But this picture focuses on the "portage" itself - a pickup-stick array of logs tossed over a boggy patch on the second portage from Kahshahpiwi to Joyce Lakes (Quetico). Tricky with the canoe!

07/24/2007 10:16PM I know its not a portage pic but I thought you all would enjoy!! |

07/24/2007 10:07PM You guys are gonna like this action shot of an eagle taking advantage of free lunch. There were actually two eagles but the first one missed the fish on its attempt and this one capatilized. I have the picture of the first eagle as well if you are interested!!!

07/10/2007 04:46PM Nice one Eglath! :0 This is another "portage", this is Pageant Creek just south of Rangeline Lake. Here portage equals drag the canoe, and hope you don't sink into the bog.

07/10/2007 04:28PM Eagleson I crossed that portage on snowshoes this last winter. Had no idea I was walking on rollers! |

07/10/2007 11:24AM Those PMA potages are much more like the rest of the forest than a portage. ;) |

07/10/2007 10:04AM Satch, I recognize those canoes! I bet under them are SF and JB and so I am guessing that is the Missing Link Portage. |

07/09/2007 09:22PM  From Alpine to Red Rock during the Alpine fire. The hoses pumped water from the lakes to sprinklers set in trees along the portage.
We were going to camp on Red Rock, but after watching the water bomber circling and the smoke rolling towards us, we decided to backtrack.

07/09/2007 09:19PM A tricky portage! This is going from Cherry to Lunar Lake, the first of five lovely (really!) portages on the way to Ottertrack (or the final trial if you're going the other way...) |

07/09/2007 04:26PM I love sunsets and moose sightings and trophy fish snapshots, but to me there's no greater sight in the Boundary Waters than seeing a lake appear through the trees at the end of a long portage. This was taken in May of this year, and I believe this is the portage from Ashub to Disappointment. While it wasn't a long portage, I thought this picture kinda captured the joy of seeing that light at the end of the tunnel.

07/09/2007 03:48PM Obergut, I'm sorry but I have to laugh every time I see that pic. :) Great shot! |
| Obergut |
07/09/2007 03:36PM Beemer, absolutely nothing wrong with your memory. It stunk pretty bad, but we would easily have done this one several times over that Death March Portage again! |

07/09/2007 02:40PM Obergut, that's nasty! I don't even know if I'd put foot in that muck for fear of never hitting anything solid! |

07/09/2007 09:51AM Alright I dug through the albums. I may regret doing this if I find the long lost 2004 photo's. However this is a portage from snowbank to some area lake.

07/09/2007 09:09AM This is a hard one for me, If my camera hadn't broken i'd have some. I'll have to dig deep in the albums. I do have one good portages pic for 2004, that is in a group of photo's, that I can't find. I'll try to chime in later this month. |

| thecanoeman |
07/09/2007 06:46AM This is a photo of a portage on the way out of Iron lake. To me its this is a testament to Lora's inner strength, we made it all the way from Iron to ep 16 in one day. and to think that 10 months ago she almost died and was in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks after the accident. I am very proud of her!
