I researched a couple of trails off the rd near the bridge.  Didn't like 'em.  Strongly considered bagging the trip.  As I drove back out, at about 7 miles, I saw a well used 4-wheel trail.  Decided to check it out.  Very near the Vie lake, Wesa lake portage by the looks of things.  About a mile down a fairly rocky, hilly, trail, I arrived at the Wesa lake acess.  The site looked rarely used and I determined it was start from here or bag the whole thing.  Start from here it was!.  A scan of the map showed that when I reached the Namakan in about 3 miles...I could easily paddle back upstream about a mile to get my gander at Myrtle and Ivy falls and get my required pics and video I desired.  But I would miss Snake falls.

Dusk approaching on Wesa lake...
