We started out by getting our food and personal gear loaded into the trailer for the trip to the put in place on Gunflint Lake.
We crossed Gunflint Lake and passed into Magnetic Lake. Our compass worked just fine, and we passed the pretty cabins at the north end of the lake.

We continued through a total of four portages and camped on Clove Lake. The last portage was very tough, 100 rods, and the only available camp was next to the portage. We never did find the latrine.
