Your username looks familiar and I feel like I had written to you regarding this trip a few months ago. We went from Kawishiwi to Alice back in 2017. Looks like a fun trip for you guys! Also, it looks like you stayed on that sandy/beach site on Malberg. Is that right? If so, that was a pretty neat site and I did enjoy it there.

I may have picked up the missing water bottle at the last beaver dam into Kawasachong, the dam that the canoes needed to be carried over. My group followed the same route later on May 15th, setting up camp on Lake Polly.

We thought there was a chance we lost it at that beaver dam. I had clipped it on before we left. Yellow REI Nalgene? It was brand new, my husband never even took a drink out of it. Thanks for grabbing it! I’m glad it’s not in the water somewhere.

That's the bottle I found! I'll pay my good fortune forward by making a donation to this website.
