We we're picked up on Wrist Wednesday afternoon. The flight was about 3 hours behind, Harlan said we were the first group in a few days to get out on time with some groups having been delayed up to four days getting out or waiting for canoes.
We spent two days in a pretty deep haze breathing smoke and ash from the fire 50 miles north. It was a bit unsettling but thankfully the winds shifted and then the rains came a couple of days later.
Bring extra food and always carry emergency communication, Ontario is a wild place.

Wow, do you normally set your tarp up above your tent, or did you do that specifically because of the ash and embers?

It was blazing hot on Jigsaw when we got there and since it's a burn area there isn't any shade, only bare rock to pitch the tent. The sun disappeared and the shade tarp turned into an ash cover.
We only deployed the bug net our last couple nights on Wrist to keep a few black flies and bees at bay. I could not believe how few bugs we saw compared to the WI mosquito massacre the weekend before. Virtually mosquito-free for 10 days. Heaven!
