I saw some of what MagicPaddler showed in his picture as well as what DD had in his... minus the "towel". Although my son used his bright pink sleeping bag for his dog for me to find him on Paull Lake like that. My point is you'll see it all and quite often it'll be the tangled mess you found in MP's picture. On better established routes you'll find better campsites and portages for obvious reasons. But I'm guessing like on Jimbo's past trip they had to improvise a lot off the beaten path. I'm looking forward to that myself this year. I'm going to upgrade my saw, but still not going to the power saw or the bear.  ;D And hopefully make some nice places to pitch a tent. It seemed to me Marten actually often times pitched his tent right out on the rock near the lake. I better be ready to do that and have a good mattress. Nothing "boring" about the WCPP. I'm excited to see what other areas have to offer. Thanks Doug!
