Last day of a 5 day excursion and finally got a break in the weather! Hauled our gear to the top of the staircase portage and headed east on the BRT.

Woodland Caribou PP Ontario. The park is covered with Jack Pine which makes the fires a necessity to regenerate the forest. We used to fly into the western lakes of the park and paddle out toward Red Lake. In June 2013 we went into Buldging Lake via floatplane. The only way out is to paddle…. And portage. What we didn’t know was there was an ice storm in October 2012. The western portages had not been cleared yet. Spent the first 3 days cutting a way through. We were very glad to get halfway and see they had cleared some of the portages through a 4-5 year fire area. We made it back to work on time 10 days later.

The Mantario Trail through the Whiteshell Provincial Park can be useful when bushwhacking.

Difficulty Rating: Rating 10, due to length (17,280 rods) and elevation change. It's all down hill on the way out. Maintenance Rating: Rating 5, well maintained.

I love that sign! I think it (or something similar--or at least SOMETHING) needs to be at the new "official" start off of 61. All you'll see on 61 are the little green hwy. signs east and west of the Hwy. 61/Co. Rd. 12 intersection. There is the rock cairn sign just north of 61 but you REALLY have to look hard to see anything Gunflint Trail. There is the big sign on the water tower but by then you are already way up the hill.
To me, the sign in your photo is iconic, inviting and says "Adventure awaits!"

Tuesday June 18th 2024, we had a big storm rolling in and needed to keep going to find a campsite. The Mosquitos were impressively abundant and this portage entrance had a nice breeze. We took a moment to imagine the feeling of being on the other side of the 165 rod portage. Portage entrance from Sitka Lake to Cherokee Lake.

One last look at Lujenida as we gather the portage packs and head north toward Zenith. Taken at 9:20am on June 18, 2024. By the last quarter of the portage we were soaked by the first rain shower of the day.
