Dave, If rain is coming soon, I'm probably NOT going to get a "good" tarp set up quickly. I often take a couple of hours doing other stuff while eyeballing potential tarp options, then pick "the best" one. Thanks for the kind words though. --Goose

I got the same thing, Goose - apparently it's not set for sharing (public view or whatever).

OK, Google's changes some things since last time . . . I just figured how to change the "sharing" setting. Try it now . . .

Have used that trick twice in all my trips. When the tent is shaking so violently you're afraid a pole will snap. Had to move it from the deep side of the peninsula I was blown to, to the shallow side sooner or later anyway. (But that's another story.) :-) Goose

The photos were beautiful and lots of fun to go through. I agree about photo #42, however. Not a sight for the faint of heart. I'm headed up there for the first time in August and I really appreciate seeing it through your eyes. My goal this year is to set a tarp up and have it look like yours.
Thanks!

Great pics, Goose. That put-in spot... it's looks vaguely familiar. :)

Tumblehome, It's at Quetico Lake campsite #93(PCD) or LAT/LON
91.850918, +48.550023. Located on the western point of the entrance to the bay from which the eastern portage to Robin Lake starts. (I was just as impressed with the humongous pine there -- I've never seen a bigger one in that part of the park.) --Goose

quote 1964James: "Are the pines on the eastern most island in Beaverhouse old growth?" That's a good question. Extensive logging was done to the east and south -- the black dashed lines on old Fisher maps are the logging roads or trails -- maybe Beaverhouse islands escaped? --Goose

gorgeous photos! brings back memories of a trip back in late september 2010... you look very familiar, like a guy we saw along the border lakes at a portage.

Gary,
Nice photos - as usual. And there seemed to be plenty of water. The BH put-in looked 2-3 ft deeper than normal. The Lund the natives use looked almost swamped. They usually have it pulled up pretty high on the bank.

Thanks GG. Nice choice of pics. Being wind bound has its benefits.

Great Picture, Especially the one Selfie where you look like a Pirate!
Arggggggg.
I also like the Purdy "Husker Red" Canoe!
Great time I'll bet!

Suncatcher, when all was said and done, this pirate felt liked he'd walked the plank and fed the sharks. Too much "fun." --Goose

Seems to work now!
Nice pics OGG! Obviously you put-in on Beaverhouse Lake and traveled through Quetico Lake, Conk Lake.......
Per your reply to Jackfish, it does look somewhat windy.

Very wet and windy to the point that I was grounded 3 of the first 6 days.
Canoe tied in front of the tent in the one pic was to deflect the winds up and over the tent. Plan to work on a report over the next few weeks. Best day I had was when I left upper Jean and paddled/portaged about 14 miles to eastern Quetico Lake. Later, guys . . .

Nice photos. Wow, you can really tell how windy it was! Great idea using the canoe as a windscreen.

BH put-in and takeout for Q portage were higher than I've ever seen. Sunken boat at BH and 2 on the Q side. Falls were really flowing. Coming back, I parked my canoe at the old sunken log on the Q side and stepped out, dry. High water made several other landings more difficult though. Portage from parking to BH landing had water standing or running in it when I returned -- never seen that before either. --Goose

Thanks.
Those old monster pines are sure a sight to see. Living history.

Thanks Goose.
Nice pics! Brings back good memories of the BH landing. I don't know where that old cabin is.
Lots of people had a tough time with the weather that week. Water is super high from the north to south and everywhere in between.
