Thanks Snow Dog,
  All great advice. I believe you're right that the Jesse/Oriana loop is biting off a bit much for a shorter trip. Perhaps next time. Fish finder/Depth reader is on my list, as are rod holders for all. It's hard ( but not impossible if I'm to believe some of the fish stories on QJ) to catch fish if your line is not in the water. And as you mention, keeping an eye on the rod and trolling will make the paddling a little more interesting. We're excited to be there in peak blueberry season and are looking fwd to throwing some in with the pancakes, or just as a snack.

 If we entered Sue Falls, and traveled a loop SW down Cirrus, through the narrows north of Eden Island and back up Quetico - Kasakokwog to Sue Falls would that be a reasonable 5 day trip? Or to avoid seeing the same Sue Falls to Lerome scenery twice, would you reccommend exiting at Beaverhouse and  having  more relaxing travel distances?  If so, would you reccommend Cirrus lake to Quetico or Kasakokwog to Quetico?

 The pictographs are a highlight of this region, as is Sue Falls, any other "more special" sights/camp locations or fishing opportunities?

Lastly, no worries, we are all big kids at heart, the only difference is that we  ( the Dads) get to pay for this trip, and do all the driving, once we hit the water, we'll all be awed by the sights and simple things.......

My son's camping trip report from last summer was titled....." I got leeches in places where leeches should NEVER be......"


 Thanks again for your input
