Bumstead	01/25/2021 02:56PM Don't step off to the side in the shallow water on the Allen side. I sunk in the muck to mid-thigh before I knew what happened.
CoffeeInTheWoods	01/24/2021 02:33AM merlyn: "My Fisher map F-13 shows a 95 rod portage from Allen to Pillsbery lk. but on the entry point map for ep 47 it doesn't exist. I'm planning a route from ep47 west to Omega and back thru Winchell (from the west never again from the east) and north and out. If that portage is defunct I will consider Meeds and south. The trip will be in mid May. Thanks, Merlyn" Did this route a few years back. Lovely.
cowdoc	01/23/2021 04:13PM Portage is there. Can be a little sloppy. Tricky portage in that area is the Pillsbury to Swallow. It starts in the tip of a little bay about 100 yards east of where its marked on maps ...on the Pillsbury end.

QuietSolo	01/22/2021 05:59PM I am planning a very similar route and was wondering the same thing about that portage! Went from Meeds to Otto last July.
