Title: Re: Where and when are you going?
Post by Jimbo on Feb 23rd, 2012 at 8:51pm
I'm planning much the same route as DentonDoc, except we'll be going about six weeks later.  My oldest son will be just returning from Korea after 2.5 years there; he has me taking him to Quetico virtually the next day!

I expect to hit some of the smaller lakes (Ted, some No Names) then McIntyre, Burt, Suzanette, Brent, & Wicksteed... just to name a few.  I also plan to revisit the site of an infamous Flamingo Jimboree of yesteryear.  I intend to check out a report that remnants of the "pink stew" Old Salt fixed for our large party have coalesced into a sedimentary sub-strata on that rocky island where that large, motley QJ flock once celebrated.  If true, this will represent quite a puzzle for future generations of geologists.

I suspect my group size may grow some but, so far, it's just my son & me for what I expect will run about 11 days on the water.  I always manage to add some new water to each trip & this will be no exception.  Anybody planning to be in this sector of the park during the mid-July timeframe should feel free to contact me (or see me at Copia); I thoroughly enjoy hooking up with other QJ'ers in the park.  Stand advised that, just like DD, my camp will sport the Flamingo Flag!  Also, if I haven't managed to con anybody into buying my WindPaddle sail before then, we may be "sailing" pink, too.  Believe me, you WON'T miss us!

Finally, there is the likelihood of a fall trip ("couples" trip?), either back to the Q or even up to Woodland Caribou Park.  Don't have that one entirely figured out just yet.

Later,
