My second solo and 20th overall trip to the BW was a truly epic experience, with every goal I set for myself being met with overwhelming satisfaction. I looped from EP#69, entering at John Lake and continuing through John-East Pike-West Pike-Clearwater-Caribou-Deer-Moon-East Bearskin-Alder-Canoe-Pine-McFarland. It was a challenging route with long and sometimes steep portages, surrounded by scenery and solitude I have never experienced in my previous 19 trips.
