Rounding the bend and in the final stretch ....

Martin is near the completion of his clockwise loop (as indicated above), having made it as far west as Cocos Lake before turning east.  He has also taken several days to explore East Lake (to its upper reaches).

He still has a couple more days and a relatively short distance (with maybe 4 portages) to re-enter Central Lake.

I'm looking forward to a full report upon his return to civilization.
