Sylbill	07/16/2015 11:40AM Thanks for the reply. I will wear my boots and liners. I would imagine this year is as wet as last year. If there is mud on a portage in the area, I can always find it.
OldFingers57	07/15/2015 07:09PM I'm not sure about this year but last year in mid August the Jessie and Maria portages had some pretty deep mud and water to them. I wear OTB Abyss 6 inch boots and it was over the top on them in lots of places and up to mid shin in just a couple of places.
arctic	07/15/2015 06:58PM I use Keens MacKenzies. I like them, but folks with weak ankles would want something with ankle support.
Sylbill	07/13/2015 07:58PM In August four of us are taking the Geezer Passage going in at Beaverhouse, through Quetico, Jesse, Maria and out at Stanton Bay. Normally I wear Chota Caney Fork wading boots with Chota boot liners. I like the setup very well, especially when we are doing a lot of portaging on rough, wet terrain. I am wondering what the portages are like on this years route and are Solomon shoes or Keens alright to wear. Any advice is appreciated. Bill
