Great trip report, wonderful photos, and nice reminders of many lakes and portages from my past Quetico visits. May Jan live on forever in the memories of his friends--thanks for sharing the story and the memorial trip.

Very well done and I enjoyed the pics. That's a fantastic route, I love that area from Louisa to McEwen. Bald Rock Falls is a nice spot to stay at too. I'm sure Jan was smiling the whole time. Very nice tribute to him. It's hard to believe how fast the time goes.

Thank you for honoring Kanoes and sharing this with us. Jan was a wonderful man and introduced me via this forum and the chat room to solo canoeing. I think about his advice and mentorship often.

Exo.....I see you are from Waterford. I was born and raised there until I was off to college and vet school.

It's a nice little city. I've moved on from there. I should update my profile.
