TechnoScout	02/03/2023 08:16AM Did Snowbank to Jordan last May. That little jump from Adventure to Jordan looks good on a map but is will not work.

Paddled and portaged through all those little lakes into Ima. I think you’ll enjoy it." JF, I take it that was an early start on Snowbank...about what time did you start?" Howie, we didn’t hit the water until mid-morning. Just got lucky with near glass paddling. Plan B was to go through Disappointment, but we didn’t have to. The later start did bite us a little when we were looking for a campsite. Missed out on several, but finally found one that was open.

Lol" Ha - one of the first BW trips I brought my wife on we did the Sea Gull to JAP portage. Not my brightest moment for sure.

Speckled	01/31/2023 08:34AM Thanks guys - didn't know about the falls, will have to check it out on our way through.

TuscaroraBorealis	01/30/2023 06:27PM Z4K: "Because that little swampy lake has a waterfall at the NW end. " ^This...and, I don't believe you'd save much, if any, time or sweat equity anyways as the Cattyman~Jordan portage is almost a highway (excepting the landing on Jordan. It's been a couple of years but, I believe the existing portages are, and would still be, the path of least resistance - even if there was a trail directly into Jordan from Adventure.

Speckled	01/30/2023 03:18PM Anyone been through or know why there isn't a portage between Adventure and Jordan. Google earth shows terrain on the south side that looks conducive to a portage, but all the maps show the trip up to cattyman and then back down. Why the detour to a little swampy lake?
