Title: 2010 WCP Trip - Irvine Lake
Post by Jimbo on Apr 25th, 2012 at 6:30pm
So here is a link to my "trip report" for our 2010 bushwhacking (mis)adventure to the Irvine Lake region of Woodland Caribou Park, just posted to the QJ Stories page:   (You need to Login or Register

This was quite an adventure.  I'm glad we got a chance to see so much of that region before fire burned a lot of it last year.  On the other hand, I suppose Kingfisher might have preferred it to be all burned-up, mostly knocked-down timber all stacked-up like matchsticks... you know, the sort of thrilling challenge that he seems to thrive on. 

Hey, I will say this: when we were lost, fatigued, blood-blistered, down to drinking scum water & my sciatica had almost completely shut me down, KF came through like a champ.  We eventually bushwhacked into Martin Kehoe's fabled Irvine Lake, sailed about using my pink WindPaddle Sail, & exited via the beautiful & unique Slot Portage.  The trip was a great success that I hope, someday, to repeat... though I expect I will prefer to use bonafide portages next time!
