Great report. I've never done the Royal River before. I love that site on Moose, that's the one with the massive grove of cedar trees, right? I agree about the latrine, interesting spot. I heard running water when I was there a few years ago, so I marched back into the woods and found a cool little waterfall. It was gorgeous. Here's a video clip of it. Border Route Challenge Part 2


Thanks for sharing.
