Vacation on Allen
by BigTim
Another glorious day in the BWCA. Ate, fished, and relaxed. Other than one stormy night and a couple of brief showers, pretty dry. We knew there was a chance of rain for Monday, so we planned our strategy if portages were wet. The Allen to Horseshoe portage isn't very long, but it does contain a couple of boulder fields to navigate. Not a problem for my pack mule son, but for this 63 year old man with a titanium hip, it does require careful thought/foot placement.
Enjoyed our final evening on Allen lake. Overall, the campsite is very nice. A few good tent pads. Fire grate close to the water. Plenty of decent bear bag hanging trees. Latrine has easy access.
