We will find out real soon. Beavers and Butthead are already up there; are entering Lake 1 today. Beemer and I are driving up today. He should be on his way from Chicago, and I will be leaving within 2 hours.

We are meeting up on Insula. Saturday we are going to bushwhack through the Hope lakes to Maniwaki. After that, who knows.

We'll let you know how it goes.

Interesting note on the PMA situation. The rules state that only one party will be issued a permit per PMA section. We are all traveling on our own permits. Beavers talked the forest service into allowing us to group up in the PMA. We are not breaking the more than four canoe rule so I think the Service went along with it. All of our permits will be cross referenced to Beavers. We all had to call to make a reservation for the PMA.
