Quick Summary for my 10-day solo trip.

Woodland Caribou Park Route:  Leano, Bunny, East Lunch, Lunch, Jake, Mexican Hat, Glenn, Hansen, Glenn, Optic, Edgar, Stuart, Telescope, Hjlarmar(s), Onnie

Weather:  Near normals (upper 60's for highs; lower 50's for lows) through much of the trip with a bit warmer (mid-upper 70's over the last 3 days); Overcast and rain from Day 1 to mid-afternoon on Day 7, with mostly intermittent rain, except for one period of rain from 9:30 am to 4:00 am the next day.  Winds mostly light and variable, with gusty periods.

Bugs:  Confused.  They were present but acted as though they could figure out what to do.  I could walk through places and raise clouds of skeets, but not get one bite.  (Did wear treated clothing).  Flies appeared with the sunshine, but again did not bite.  Never put on the head net and only wore deet for the last couple of portages exiting the park.  This was totally unexpected ... I had assumed I would be fighting bugs the entire trip.

Fishing:  I didn't devote a lot of time to fishing, but caught walleye and pike with regularity.  I'd planned for 3 fish meals; I had 3 walleye feasts.  I did not rig for lakers (I had plenty on my WCPP trip last year).  I'd classify the fishing as average to slightly above average.

Solitude:  Not even close.  Got my first day of complete soltude on Day 6.  Also, I didn't see anyone on my exit run (day 8-10).  I did have a float plane fly over my head and land at a camp behind me on Day 8 (Telescope Lake), but I didn't actually SEE any person.

I'll add a daily report as time permits ... not too many pic's the first week due to overcast/rainy conditions.
