sorry i didn't see any of you guys.  i made a loop from sawbill to cherokee--long island lake--tuscarora--little saganaga--kawishiwi river  (2 nights)--polly--phoebe--alton--and back out to sawbill.  stormy for more than half my 10 days in the bwca, but i expected that based on previous late sept trips.  saw a bear, 4 moose (cow with 2 calves and a bull moose), 4 whitetails, with one being a very nice 8 point, beavers, and a host of birds which i won't bore you with naming.    picked up a paddling partner on day 4 of my trip which helped keep spirits up in the wind and rain.  beautiful leaf color!  had a great time and hope that those of you who live in the area have a good hard water season.  -harry
