Great report, i love all the photos, you were right not to take the slim to fat unmanaged portage. I did this portage this summer and i can say you would have had a hard time getting those canoes through, my solo canoe was tight fit through many places. I would do it different and paddle around next time, it was tough.

Sounds like a good trip and a wise decision to modify the route.

Second that! I did it this summer with 16 foot boat and was constantly banging one end or the other. In my head I named it the "drunken sailor portage" because it seemed to wander left and right sometimes for no reason. Not very easy, and long.

Sounds like an excellent trip, and congratulations on introducing four new people to the BWCA. Hope they all want to come back next year, maybe then do a more aggressive trip with all sea-worthy canoes! Well done.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed seeing you getting it done in those old Grummans. :-)

I really enjoyed the report with the maps and pics a real nice touch. Your enthusiasm for the area really came through. I have a feeling there's more trips in this group's future.
