Just got back from that route from Leano, Jake, Mex Hat, Wrist, Aegean, Paull, Elephant Head and back to Leano. I saw no crew or sign of things being done... just signs of things to be done. I'm not complaining... we enjoyed the challenges. I thought of DD a lot while going the same way to Mex Hat... The portage going into Mex Hat was the biggest challenge and the dogs did better than I did. I fell pretty hard while carring two packs, but got right up to my sons surprize. I thought the falls were awesome. There was a float plane at the end of the portage, he seemed nervous about being there and took off. We walked up the portage to Burnt Rock Lake a ways... It's obviously much less used. If you intend to do the route you suggest in seven days, your pushing it in my opinion. Get an early start the first day... Getting a fishing lisense took a long time. We barely got our park permit and they closed the office for a little while. We were dissappointed with the campsite map. There is no way a fair amount of the sites listed are suitable. The road to Leano is not a fast road... Plan about two hours, they say an hour and a half... depends on your vehical and what your willing to put it through. By the time everything happened we could only get to a site at the end of Leano the first day.
