Marten, Did you mean to say you are booking for July, 2013, OR did you really mean to say July, 2014???? Jimbo   8-)

Yes, we are going this July 13, 2013. I want to go in and check it out as soon as possible. I have no idea what we are going to find the traveling conditions to be like. I am interested in doing the loop from Central Lake to South Lake to West Lake to East Lake and back to Central Lake.

The easy way would be to go NW from Central Lake to East Lake but I want to attempt the loop first. If we can't make it through we can always backtrack to Central Lake and go to East Lake via a few portages around some rapids. The loop should be about 50 miles and make a great trip for future paddlers. The loop is an old route but we do not know how clogged it may be.

You know there is another 17 foot canoe if you wanted to join the fact-finding mission. ;)
