Good. Then I'll go with what Martin Kehoe has called “The Slot Portage.” This unique portage runs down the middle of a burbling stream which flows 50 meters or so through a major cleft in a high vertical rock face at the north end of Irvine Lake in WCPP. When rays of sunshine filter through early morning mists and illuminate that chasm with a soft glow, you begin to think you are portaging through some remarkably beautiful wilderness cathedral. Anyway, I'll not soon forget it. Kingfisher & I had "bushwhacked" into remote Irvine Lake the hard way (from the east). Exiting via this unique portage somehow made that extreme effort feel worthwhile. Jimbo 8-) |
