BTW, I remember a previous trip report of yours that we all loved. Your style of writing is refreshing. My first trip to Quetico (2 weeks) was in my 80+ lb Ouachita aluminum canoe. I can definitely relate. |

10/28/2021 03:49PM So. . .you made this terrible portage. Was there a canoe trip after that? Did you stay a few days in one site, or did you travel on? Did you return by the same route? I think I would like more of the story. :-) |

10/28/2021 03:09PMKarlBAndersen1: "Why is a rod 16.5 feet? Well, some old Canadian mining survey maps have the portages in Chains (converts, roughly, to 20 meters per chain).... Now the Canadians use the meter; not sure why we didn't get on board... |

10/28/2021 08:00AM Why is a rod 16.5 feet? Lands were laid out so the farmer would be able to finish a land every 10 rounds with a 10 inch plowshare (about 16.5 feet). One could imagine that perhaps farmers used a pole or rod that was 16.5 feet long when laying out lands because this measure of distance is still called a rod today. |

10/26/2021 10:12PM Nice report and fun to read. I can relate to your experience(s) except your wake up call in GM. I was hoping for a few pictures and a couple more pages. But, it was good while it lasted. Thanks for sharing. |
