Lol, I laughed reading your report because I think I just about killed my dad with that Stuart-Fox portage. That one is a humdinger! Way to go on the successful trip, nice to have a couple runners to fetch the truck for you! I’ve done that same run on the Echo Trail a few times myself. Thanks for sharing!


Ps- For what school do your boys run?

Thanks for sharing your trip, I really enjoy reading other people's adventures to learn new things. I went to Stuart last fall and really enjoyed the Stuart River - would have enjoyed it more with some warm weather, but still fun. Thanks again, it sounded like a really fun trip.

Nice report! Though I'm 100% sure that if our family's first two trips had been into Angleworm & Stuart, with those portages, my wife would never have visited the BWCA again. And my body might still be there...
