Another route from the west is what 6 of us did on a 13-night trip in June-July 2018 starting at Black Robe and ending at Bottle.  Day one saw one group of three (Jimbo, brother and DentonDoc) go thru Minn,  the Darky R into Darky Lake.  The other group (me, son, and Magic) went via McAree into Wicksteed to Darky.  We arrived Darky about 2 hrs ahead of the other Group as they struggled a bit more thru the river.  But we all arrived safely.  After that, our group then made the trek via Darky R into Brent then south into Ted campsite via Earl.  Followed that with camps on Elk via Hurn, Argo, Roland with last camp just NE of Curtain Falls.  Jimbo's crew stayed on Darky, Argo, Roland and Iron.  Excellent route, companions, scenery, campsites and fishing.
