old_salt	10/18/2018 08:57PM Nice thing about Crane Lake tow is that you can have lunch at the campsite of your choice. You’ll have fish for dinner.
troutdude	10/18/2018 06:15PM Our group made Boulder Bay in 6 hours a few years back via EP 16. I'm just putting some feelers out as far as feasibility to Lady Boot Bay. As fo the Crane Lake tow, it never entered my mind. I'm going to look into that. Thank you all for your input, mucho appreciation!!!!
CCBBSpeckled	10/18/2018 02:41PM Been through the Moose River quite a few times. You can figure about 2 hours to Moose Lake - 4 to Agnes - 6 to Boulder Bay...you're probably looking at 9ish to 10 hours travel, without break to Lady Boot. We've done farther, but it depends on the day and the group. If the weathers great and you start early, it's doable. It's a solid day for sure.
Kraut88	10/18/2018 01:07PM I'd say that's pretty ambitious. Just did that trip a few weeks ago and we were wiped out after making it to Tiger Bay the first day. Definitely doable if you have a strong group and get an early start on a calm day, but on a windy day this will be a rough one. Besides there are tons of really nice sites on LLC, so why not stay there for a night?
old_salt	10/17/2018 08:38PM Depends on winds and weather. And conditioning and attitude of group. The most certain way to get there in a day is to start at Crane Lake and get a tow with Andersons. They also have a nice motel.
mooseplums	10/15/2018 09:28PM We usually could make Tiger Bay in about 6 hours So add another couple hour into that.
