Thanks for the report. LIS #14 is one of my favorite entry points.


I can imagine how you must have felt after the canoe incident. Your outfitter certainly handled it in a professional and customer friendly manner.

If you base camped on Loon Lake I most likely passed your camp on Friday. It seems like you got a bad draw with the weather. I remember it being mostly grey and windy with rainy spells till Monday.


Hey, with weather you just never know right? I've been fortunate the last four years but in 2007 it rained almost every day for a week.

Beautiful photos! How did you achieve the birds-eye view of the river on the top photo?
