We, in our excitement of being in Red Lake totally blew off the gas gauge. We had less than an eighth of a tank to go 70 kilometers from Leano back to Red Lake on the rough road... We made it, but barely. We likely won't repeat that again.

This is where Jimbo chimes in to tell you our story of a close call.



Hey, we STILL had a cannister or so of the white gas cook stove fuel that might have gotten us down the road a little further!  As it was, the digital fuel gauge showed that we went about 12 miles beyond the tank's capacity.

It's a LONG stretch beteen Dryden & Ft. Frances!!  Fill up when you can!!!

Jimbo   Cool

P.S.  The road to Lund Lake was child's play.  My wife's 1998 Plymouth Voyageur took it at nearly 50 mph most of the way out!  We left in a cloud of dust and a "Hi Ho Silver!!  Away!!!"

Now that's my kind of driving... I think you use twice the gas when you drive real slow, so we kind of pushed it too, just not 50mph. I thought of how I was glad to have a good amount of gas between Dryden and Ft Francis even though gas was quite high in Red Lake. We didn't have any canisters of white gas left...  Tongue

I just returned home from 30 days in WCPP. The park does not even know this yet but I have fixes and reroutes for the three nasty portages west of Lund Lake. The fix for the Knox 1500 will require 55 meters of riprap. Not a wet foot other than that. Now it will only require money, time and red tape cutting to put an end to the misery up there.

Good news and bad news.  SmileyThe good news is that the portage exiting Lund Lake to the west has been replaced with an all new route. On the Lund side it is about 1100 meters to the NNE of the old portage. UTM using NAD 27 datum- 15U 408255 5662887. The other end is 800 meters NNE of the old portage- 407232-5662887.

CryThe bad news is that the Lund entrance is closed for now because of the RED124 forest fire that started near Larus Creek.

Hurrah for Martin. I say they take one of those unnamed lakes up there and put your name on it. 

I hope that Lund lake entry won't be all pick-up sticks next August. I have some unfinished business to attend to.
