Just a heads up if you're portaging between Annie and Ogish. There's a hornets nest at the Ogish end, on the south side of the landing area. No people in our party were stung, but my son's dog was.

Pretty sure it's a ground nest. I didn't see the nest, but there were a bunch of hornets/bees flying around close to the ground. I'm allergic to bee stings so I stayed as far away as I could and didn't get a very good look at them.

From Seagull to Grandpa on a day trip, I saw a ground nest which looked to have been dug out by a bear in the last week or two. On our way back we kept reminding ourselves to notice it and go slow. Realized someone had placed two large, upright birch sticks in an X formation across the trail. Didn't notice the first time through, but coming back was the more dangerous approach, as it was a short 2.5' drop into it.
What's protocol? I liked the stick idea, not sure it would have dawned on me if I initially saw it coming from the other direction.

That is a nasty little portage with all the chewed trees from the beavers. There was one spike right in the middle of the path right at that little 2 foot drop if you slip that thing was going up the butt.
