Plans for the "Third Annual WCPP Gathering" have been finalized. We will meet on the Glenn Lake campsite we used in 2011: WGS84 15N 389497 5641892 Lat Long 50.9181 94.5722-[url]  . (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) Hogan, Farmer, Marten, Jazzman and son will be there for sure on July 29-30. Anyone else in the area is encouraged to stop in. It is a very spacious site with plenty of tent pads. In the past we have thrown together a buffet for meals made up of what each group has to offer.

I'll be paddling the Bloodvein from Artery to Lund Lakes, August 16-26.

Kerry, It was probably my video that you are getting this information from. Forgive me if we have already talked about this. If you PM me we can talk on the phone. The Dunstan to Walking Stick route is nothing but a bunch of cairns I laid out and is not any semblance of a cleared portage. Storm damage last fall could have left the area impassable. I would not suggest the route unless using a GPS with the "tracks" I have recorded.

Yes and they were very muddy.

Actually, from Larus we're headed directly west and south.  We want to make our first camp on Dunstan, spend a couple of days there and then head over to Walking Stick.  I've heard that both of those lakes have great Walleye fishing.  From there we plan to head south through Broken Arrow and down to Mather and then work our way east to Wrist.  Any knowledge about the conditions in those parts?  If anyone has been along that route I'd appreciate anything you can tell me about camp sites, fishing, or any points of interest.

Did you do the portages into Thicketwood from Larus?  (I'd only do a quick trip to Murdock anyway to see the picto.)

Much of Murdock is burned but Larus remains largely ok and about all of the established campsites are still ok. I would not detour around these lakes, the spectacle is worth the effort. I would not plan to camp on Murdock however. I went through this area last August.
If interested I can provide more detail when I have my maps in front of me.

Don't know what your planned route might be from Larus ... but I'm sure you are aware that much of the shoreline on Larus (except for portions of shore on the northern half of the lake), all of Murdock, some of Knox and just a bit of Thicketwood were involved in the Red 124 fire 2 seasons ago.

Here is a link to a map showing the burn area (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I was considering going thru Larus/Murdock in June this year, but I'll likely go around.

My wife and I will be putting in at Larus Lake on August 8th.  We're planning a loop around the south western edge of the park then head east through Wrist and Glenn to our take out at Johnson.  I shouldn't imagine that we'd be on Glenn until late in August, maybe the 25th or 26th.  But who knows, if you happen on a black Bell Northstar, it may be us.

Farmer and I will be entering WCPP at the Johnson Lake access on July 28. We will be doing a loop and could be at the Glenn Lake campsite where the first solotripping 2011 gathering was held on either Tuesday, July 30 or Tuesday, August 7. I hope to be able to retrace a route from Indian House to Glenn that bushwhacks through Domain Lake.
