WT? Seen the post title a couple days ago but hadn't clicked on it till now. That is bizarre. At least someone looked before they sat down for their business. I can just see someone taking care of natures call and having something from below flying up into their undercarriage. Yeah, that would get one's attention. LOL

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction! :)

That's crazy! Nice job with the rescue. I would be happy too if I had been in that duck's situation and was finally released to the water! I'm sure she/he was very happy to get a bath!

Hooded Mergansers nest in my wood duck boxes every year. Maybe it was looking for a home?
Ho Ho 06/27/2012 10:22PM
That is a crazy story. Thanks for saving the duck - and the latrine.

What a story! Good job. We were there two years ago and I recall that site is Number 4. The number should be on the back of the seat.

Just when you thought you've seen it all!

New one to me! Always look down the hole!

Nice rescue! I almost burst out laughing at work while reading this, I think the duck on the rope is what did it :)


Other than THAT very strange event, how was the rest of the trip?
Zulu 06/28/2012 12:02PM
That bird was having a crappy day!
Thanks for helping it and the report.

Omg, hilarious!


And actually, the inside of that crapper could look worse. LOL

I'll be that way next week. I'll keep my eye's open for a dirty duck. :) I rescued several ducks from chimneys and fireplaces over the years... Never a Merganser though.

That's hilarious. You have done your good deed for the year. Thanks for sharing.

What a great story for the girls to remember and tell for decades to come...
bapabear 07/08/2012 08:42PM
Nice job! Think of the story that duck had to tell when it got back to its cronies!!!

That's nuts which campsite was it? I was on the island site a month ago and there was no duck in the scrapper at least I don't think so, didn't really check
OneMatch 06/30/2012 03:01AM
What a great story with a happy ending - no pun intended.


Who knows how long that poor girl was down there, but thanks for having the heart to rescue it, and I'm glad she made a "clean break".

quote mcsweem: "That's nuts which campsite was it? "


I don't know what number campsite it was but it was the the first campsite southwest of the portage from Hatchet Lake. I think that is close to your island campsite.

All I can say is wow. I also believe in never look down the thunder dome. What a surprise that would have been had you sat down.
paddlefamily 06/29/2012 04:46PM
What a crazy experience. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
mcsweem 06/29/2012 07:05PM
Crapper I meant
McVacek 06/28/2012 10:00PM
Best...story...ever. :) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the comments. We had a great trip, including the "Duck Incident". The fishing wasn't great for us but we go more to canoe than fish. After the duck incident whenever someone needed to make a trip to the to toilet and wanted to be sure to have some privacy they would call out "I'm going duck hunting" and the reply was (obviously) "quack, quack."
alpine525 06/28/2012 12:22PM
Great story - thank goodness you didn't have to go in after it!
bbrown6057 06/27/2012 11:14PM
Cool story and one lucky duck! Hope there isn't a bear in my latrine when we get there!
