d. doc: thanks for the sample map: looks like the portages on the route marked are fairly short, what I'm trying to put together is  :question..if I wanted to do this same route with a 19' Grumman and 9.9 hp motor....is that legel, legal or however ya spell it :question.  [smiley=dankk2.gif]

Based on my observations, so far (and what I've heard expressed by a couple of people I know), I'd have to say that you are probably correct about the length of portages.  While there are a few on my trip this year that are of the 150+ rod length, I'd say the typical average appears to be in the 30-40 rod range.  That said, you also need to understand the WCPP policy is that only 20-25% of the portages see a portage crew per year.  I'll be able to provide a more effective assessment on portages and levels of difficulty after my early July trip.

As for the legality of taking your own motor & canoe, that would be better answered by Doug,  the park super.  You might want to pose that question of the "Who Am I" thread.
