There is a little unnamed lake/pond of sorts between kash and Joyce where I had a learning experience. My regular partner and I in our solos fell in with a group of 20 somethings coming from Joyce (as were we). One of the kids were portaging an old gigantic freighter of a boat that he said went close to 100 lbs but I digress.

The kids hit the lake/pond first and we met them coming out of a small bay where the map indicated the portage. "no portage" they said......"just a moose trail". They left the tiny bay and of course we went to check it out. Right where the map said the portage should be there was indeed a take out spot. We unloaded and walked a ways down the Moose trail which of course petered out like they always do.

By this time the other party had returned not finding anything. Their plan was to camp and then try and follow the small creek out. Of course the creek was absolutely choked with brush. I thought that a poor idea with a 100 lb boat and told them as much.

They left to try and find a campsite and I decided to take a spin around the little bay. Smooth rock pervaded the opposing shoreline so my focus went upwards toward the top of the bank. An old chainsaw cut was the clue I needed. Dan went to give a holler and we all proceeded to Kash which we hit right at dark just as some sprinkles started.

My favorite portage? It is secret. Do I have to tell?  ;)
