Wow Dave! Someone who had been in that area. I know NorthernTier puts a lot of scouts in there so we go in August after they have pulled out. Fire has altered things a bit now. We were going to use the dock on Scout Lake to start our trip but it was semi surrounded with smoldering forest so we opted for Noname. Noname and the rapids portage-campsite on Kawascheewonk burned shortly after we moved on. I would like to talk or have contact with someone from Northern Tier Bissett about the long portage from Kawascheewonk Lake to the Bloodvein River. If you have any such contact info could you have them contact me.

I know this summer the big fire started on July 15 and within 3 days all scouts were plucked from the area and the remaining trips given other areas as options.
