Especially curious about Larus Creek and how the rough stuff worked out.

I don't recall any rough stuff ha ha. Adventurous canoe trippers have very short memories for that sort of thing. Seriously we did not encounter anything that anyone should be afraid of. Portages everywhere we went were in great condition and only the creeks and rivers gave us any amount of trouble due to blowdowns blocking our way. We had to be creative, determined and ready to go "balls deep" in some instances to get through. And in one special section one of us even tried "nipple deep".
Larus Creek turned out to be one of the most memorable days of the trip. Our group added this as a route only after hemming and hawing for two days about travelling for an entire day on a creek but I am personally glad we did it. We saw 6 moose that day alone. Also saw a pair of trumpeter swans and 4 chicks.
