Can we do a more difficult loop?
by Speckled
We dropped off a vehicle at Mudro and headed over to South Hegman. We were on the water shortly after 9:00. We settled in nicely and moved along up to the Picto's on North Hegman.
From there we continued on to the Trease to Angleworm Portage. Now, I've done the Horse Portage, Gun Portage, Muskeg to Kiskidinna, Tuscarora to Missing Link, Seagull to JAP and a few others that consistantly make the worst portages in the BW list. A quick rating...1. Seagull to JAP; 2. Trease to Angleworm 3. Tuscarora to Missing LInk (in that direction).The portage was longer than advertised, the swamp is hard to pick your way through. There's easily a dozen options of people trying to find higher ground or less mud...good luck, if you miss stepping on a log or grass patch, your calf to knee deep in muck. We arrived at Angleworm, put on some bug dope and had a quick lunch. We paddled straight into a strong headwind up Angleworm and made our wat to Gun Lake by 5:00. The 271 portage into Gull was a breeze. Every portage, even those around a mile in length felt easy for the rest of the trip. We camped on Gun Lake, site 1083. This is a 5 star site in my opinion. One of the best i've come across.
