DD,

I was trying to be discrete.  The Lund Lake entry portages (and from what I hear a good part of the long one over to Knox Lake) are, in my opinion, in bad shape.  Each of these portages cross peat bogs, and this year has also been wet (though certainly not as bad as last year!).

The corduroy on these portages has been broken up by the high waters:  floated out of place in some locations, and stomped down into the peat muck in others.  It makes for difficult footing at best.

I discussed this with Claire after coming out, and I would like to give WCPP a season to scout out the condition of the trails and decide whether to reroute, repair, or leave them as-is before I put much "out there" about them.  

This was my first trip to WCPP, and my expectations may be out of line for such a remote area.  But even if the trails are really no worse than expected, I am concerned about the damage that is being done to the fragile bogs.
