Title: Re: BW/Q, Algonquin, and Temagami Post by Spartan2 on Sep 18th, 2009 at 9:09pm
We had a very enjoyable trip in Temagami 'way back in August of 1990. We were there for a six-day canoe trip, and it certainly wasn't the BWCA or Quetico, but when I just went to the bookcase and retrieved the album I was surprised to see how many similarities there were in my narrative to the one I am currently writing for the 2009 trip. "Awakening to the sound of the loons", "water that is clear and beautiful" (it was the clearest water I have ever seen), "a lovely campsite", "so peaceful and quiet", etc. There were motors, though, and were cabins in some of the places. We visited Bear Island and went in the little First Nation Church--I have some lovely photos of the windows there.
Our loop was Temagami Lake, Cross lake, Wasaksina Lake, Driftwood Lake, Iceland Lake, the S. Tetapaga River, and back to Temagami Lake. My photos look very much like they do from a BW trip: misty mornings, sunsets, loons, tall trees, but not nearly as many rocks as in northern Minnesota. Have no idea what that area is like 19 years later. I wouldn't mind returning to see sometime. |
