"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

Wow! That area was torched! Pagami fire??? Great, surreal picture.

Definitely the Pagami Fire,
I fought that fire between Bog and Section 29 Lakes for 2 weeks.
I took a helicopter ride over Bog Lake, that area was the worst/scorched area of any I have ever seen in nearly 30 years of firefighting.
If I remember the south 1/3 side of Bog Lake did not get hit by the fire.
May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

Yes. the southern half of the lake did not burn.
