GeneM -

Somehow I missed your original post.  I'll be glad to add a few thoughts now re: your route.

Draper?  Though I've never been there, a good friend of mine tells me that campsite LJ (island site, west side of lake) is the place to camp.  Also, there is a Message Cache/Olive Jar located here.

McDougall is another fine lake, well-known for excellent smallmouth bass fishing; lesser known for lake trout BUT there is a deep hole on the west side of the lake where they can be found.  The peninsula campsites on the west side have great views but are pretty exposed to the elements.  You can find quieter but smaller sites in the east bay... where the smallmouth are abundant.

We'll be headed back to Suzanette, Brent, Burt (& possibly Ted) this year (finally!) after 12 years.  Suzanette holds another Olive Jar/Message Cache (check the high bluff site on the north wall).  Also, we have fared well finding blueberries as you approach Burt Lake from Suzanette (north side of channel). 

It's my 40th anniversary, too, this July.  The wife & I have several trips planned this year to honor the occasion, hopefully including one into Quetico.  I really doubt she could stomach more than 6-7 days at a time, however... and those days MUST be in September (warm water, few bugs).  I'm envious of your longer adventure!

I'll be in a party of seven guys cruising through Darky, Conmee, Suzanette, Burt, Brent, Elk, Argo & Crooked during the last week of June, first week of July.  Perhaps we'll cross paths?  My camps typically have some sort of "flamingo" adornment marking them, so keep your eyes open for "pink" (it sort of jumps out at you).  While my guess is that you won't hit this area until later, we'd welcome a visit should you be in the vicinity!
