	That's a puurdy one. Wish I was there. Well, not right now but... That, what, isthmus thththth (?) -- never use to be there. It was always a 1/4 mile annoyance. Will we make it or do we portage or paddle around? Looks like a nice place now. There's an island not too far from there that used to be a sandbar. We were having breakfast at the gravel beach one morning and watched a tent blow into the lake. We thought it was a goner but they were able to retrieve it.

	So where is the isthmus? and what does looking back at 34G mean? On another isthmus note; last year trip we got caught fighting wind and waves on Moose our last day coming back. We decided to try portaging the isthmus just east of the center of Section 21 to seek shelter in the north bay and avoid heavy seas, wind and waves. We were greatly surprised to find out that there wasn't any portaging at all and we were able to canoe through. Photo from protected bay doesn't show the true nature of the wind and waves. But to see how everyone is bundled up does show the nature of an October trip. starwatcher (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	34G is referencing Azalea's Quetico Campsite Database. If that topo was made today there wouldn't be two unconnected points between it and the twin islands to the north. At some point they raised and later, in the late 70's I think, lowered the lake level. The sand has been collecting there for 40+ years forming the new isthmus. The Alder thicket follows in a few years and holds it all in place. Kinda cool to see such a dramatic change in a few decades actually. My first trip out of French began paddling past mud banks and drowned, ready to fall trees. It looked creepy. Really creepy. In a word, ugly. These days there's new beauty around every corner - and there's a lot of corners in that short little stretch.

If you click on each of these links, you can compare the topo and closer-to-reality aerial photo from 2002. The time I paddled cleanly over the isthmus was in May of 1992, very high water. We did only a slight bottom-drag in early July 2001. The POD pic was early Aug 2008. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) The story I've heard is that Pickerel was ~4 feet higher when the topos were made. It was dammed during the logging days. The dam still exists, but was put down to original lake level in the 70s. That's why all the nice sand beaches on Pickerel, I've heard, eh? -Tom

Typically, my canoe buddies pack one can of coffee in a huge tripple wrapped plastic bag for our eight day trip. I'm waiting for some misfortune that someone spills the beans. So far we've made it ever trip with coffee to spare. Worst case is some drunken fool dumps the works and we are caffeine deprived for the remainder of the trip. Then I'll get out Sparky Stensaas guide to BWCA flora and scour the swamp looking for "Gaultheria hispidula" or more commonly know as creeping snowberry; quote: "The youngest, freshest leaves make an excellent wintergreen-flavored tea, which is also VERY HIGH IN CAFFEINE." starwatcher

	Drewfus--That photo was taken the first week of June last year. It's on Brant Lake in the BWCA and what you're looking at is part of the burnout area from the Ham Lake fire. It was very interesting traveling through it. For example, the campsite where I took the pic wasn't burned at all, yet practially the other three sides of the lake were. Nice campsite, too

This fish may carry the genes of some of those released on our trip prior. I can tell you these fish were smarter (or lazier) in comparison. We had to work that spot over to scrounge that one and 2 siblings for supper that afternoon. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) -YB

Thanks Starwatcher, That photo was taken up in the NW corner of Saganagons. We had come up the Falls Chain and set up on campsite 1ZB. Next morning we were up and packed before the sun was above the treeline, waiting for the fog to burn off (it was thick enough to slice). That little pine studded island lays just to the south of the campsite as we passed by enroute to the Boundary Point portage. -YB

	This is the other end of where we (My dog Bernice and I) had to wade through knee deep to me about 75 yds. I tried to paddle but trees in the way made it impossible. apparently a beaver dam had broke and flooded the area. This was on a 310 rod portage.

	On the recent canoe image: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Notice the area just left of center? My guess is a smudge on the lens is causing the loss of contrast in that one area. Could be a partial finger print, a drop of sweat ... it doesn't look like a spider web 'cause it doesn't go edge to edge. Some other shots had the same symptom. The shaft of light looks sort'of like a shaft of light but I see nothing that could cause it so I'll guess flare. Also, that area left of center looks sharper, more circular. It's shot into the light so probably a smaller aperture so it would make sense that the smudge were sharper. It looks real enough but the atmospheric quality caused by fog in the air, on the lens or whatever - mix to add a lot of drama to yesterday's morning scene.

Actually I'm shooting a el cheapo Canon point-n-shoot A590IS. It is an OK camera for its class but I need to upgrade. There IS a lens issue, but I think it is inside the camera because I can't seem to get rid of it. I'm thinking sending it back for repair will cost me almost as much as purchasing a new one. I'm looking at those Olympus Tough serious right now.

	Rojo- Nice Walleye! Is the exit portage over your left shoulder? Nice Mex Hat photo yesterday. That round rock face beyond (left of) the falls is the where the portage begins/ends. A load of fun when its wet. Did you take a few walleye fishing the outflow of the falls. Caught a couple there, but they were on the small side. Did you find any camp chairs at that campsite? dd

	Thanks dd. I believe the portage would be back in that direction. My brother caught this walleye fishing around an island shortly after completing the 625m portage. We used the Onnie entry, paddled in to Mexican Hat, and back out through Onnie. My brother broke his ankle collecting firewood on Glenn Lake, so the trip out was interesting to say the least. Didn't see any camp chairs when we stopped at the Mexi Hat site, but we did catch a number of nice walleye there. We found awesome walleye fishing below every one of the nice falls along that route.

Sorry to hear about your brother's misfortune. I can't imagine how you'd handle the 625 meter portage on a broken ankle and the portage out to the parking lot is not exactly a snap even WITH the boardwalk. I hope your brother is doing well and on the road to recovery! I'm assuming your brother broke his ankle on the way BACK to Glenn? When I was fishing the outflow of Mexican Hat Falls, I had a chance to chat with the occupants of that campsite, who were relaxing, mid-morning, on the front "veranda" in their camp chairs. They related that they had found them stashed back in the woods. I assume they left them there when they departed. They also put us on to a walleye hot spot further down the lake. WOW! Hot spot indeed!!! We fished that spot for perhaps 2 hours and I rarely had a period of over 2 minutes where I didn't have one on. We finally moved off when we saw the party paddling down the lake toward us ... obviously looking for a bit of walleye fishing themselves. dd

	He tripped backwards over a rock, while collecting firewood behind our campsite on Glenn. Just getting in and out of the canoe were a real challenge. He made a cane out of a piece of beaver wood, and we wrapped his ankle up good, and he hobbled his way across the remaining 12 portages to get to the truck. He's had surgery to repair his ankle since returning.

The trek from Glenn to the Onnie EP parking lot is not exactly the easiest stretch of country I've traveled, but I guess the absolute worst is toward the end. At least you were covering ground you'd seen before. How long did it take you to get out? dd

	They're telling him 3-4 months. Not sure about rehab. It took us 2 days to get out from Glenn. We were travelling pretty heavy up until then. We tend to bring a lot of gear, and we do two trips on every portage. Our food pack was still pretty heavy at that point, since the fishing was so good we had been eating a lot of fish meals. We had a nice campfire that night, burning all un-needed food items etc. I still had to do 3-4 trips on each portage to get our gear out, but we made it.

Last couple of pic's of your campsite on Mex. Hat. That would be the campsite on the western shore in the northern part of the lake ... not too far from the portage torward Glenn ... with a sandy landing on the left side? If that's it, someone has cleaned it up a bit from last year. It had a lot of deadfall spread around it. dd
