Sometimes there's days like this. My last three solos I had challenging weather on the first couple of days then beautiful days for the rest of the trip. If I had a choice this is the way I would want it. My last extremely bad weather trip was in 2007. This pic is day one in Sept. 2013. Luna was a good soldier.

You are correct about the beach location Banksiana!
All the pictures in my initial reply are from several recent Quetico solo trips, and the beach photo was in fact taken on Sturgeon Lake. (I'm fairly certain kanoes' picture was taken there as well, albeit with different water levels.)
The sandy peninsula lies on the southeast shore of Sturgeon Lake, about mid-way between the mouth of the Maligne River and Scripture Island.
Latitude:48.45705 Longitude:-91.63475
Aside from the expansive beach, there's a huge amount of open space under the small pines for camping, and almost unlimited tent pads. If there was ever a location in Quetico that could host a canoe camper's "kegger", this would be the spot. (A few more pictures below)
I saw only one other paddler, (a solo tripper in an old, brown Sawyer "Goldenglass" Summersong), while paddling and camping on Sturgeon Lake when I took these pictures on a September 2013 solo trip. During the peak summer months though, you can bet there would be many visitors to this location.
Unfortunately, the were several row boats stacked towards the back of the site, which I assume were cached by the First Nations' guides.
Pickerel Lake and Quetico Lake also have some notable sand beaches. The only sand beaches that I can recall seeing in the BWCAW would be on Frost Lake, Alice Lake, some on Seagull Lake, and a few other lakes that I can't think of right now.
My apologizes for the thread deviation, but I wanted to address the beach question.
Now back to more solo pictures!

Was that portage hard to find? I've was close one early spring day but didn't battle through the weeds to search for it-beautiful river to paddle."
Not really, especially in the spring. It can be a little wet on the Fowl lake side though.

So we're still doing this!?
Okay, not the Mississippi River, but close. Here's a few random pictures from several of my Lower Wisconsin River solo trips over the years.

Here are a few pics. North Carolina last weekend, overnight solo in Merchant Millpond state park.
A couple Alaska pic's of solo last year.
I'm leaving for Anchorage tomorrow. Hope to be canoeing soon. Some of the big lakes on the Kenai Pinnisula never froze this winter, due to the 2nd warmest winter on record.
Last one is North Carolina again, campsite on the lake. Rented canoe.
