Have you been to Raven before? I was there in August. I would be concerned going there solo as it's so out of the way and a dead end.

weathers always a crap shoot. theres no way i could have basecamped that long.
about the remoteness question...
not wanting to see people is THE reason i solo. the more remote the better.
when ever i do see others, i feel like it lessened the trip.

I like being remote too but my concern would be going there solo. Just a safety thing. Do like Kanoes does and bring a spot locator.
Raven has a very beautiful portage into it. It's like an enchanted forest that you walk through with moss everywhere.. I really regret not taking pictures on it.
The bog path gets extremely narrow though. Here's a couple pics. This is my young son the day we left Raven. He was pretty fed up with the swamp at this point. The day before was long and grueling as we did some bushwacking and a 10 hour day.

Rain and all, I envy you that you were able to spend your birthday on a solo trip. You did it and that's great :-) BTW - happy belated birthday :)
