THE trip (hunter island, quetico...solo)
by kanoes
after a little bs'n with janice, john and friend for a while i get my permit.
IM IN! q camp 1 is next to the portage to wet lake. today was a blur. calm, smoky day on saganagons. im spent now...ive done three of the falls chain portages. 3 more tomorrow and then the kennebas falls one and ill be paddle crazy on kawnipi.
ran into hoho and david today. we were headed in opposite directions. after a short chat we went our own ways.
6pm and just mixed a cocktail. i toasted pam, phil, my parents, and everyone else ive loved and lost.
will a golden perch in the same tree as a bald? i think thats what i saw today.
more clouds this evening and they look different. wish i knew my formations and what they mean.
beaver wood was left here and there will be flames. once started i cant sit near it...too warm out. sitting 15 feet away enjoying the fire from a distance.
what ive seen of the falls chain so far has been gorgeous.
MVG (most valuable gear) award so far goes to my flying moose bandana. sweat wiper, head cooler, neck/ears sun shield.
wind allowing, i hope to be at the end of kawnipi tomorrow.
some pics from the day...
