I enjoy the fish pics as much as anyone but with out some "context", one pic looks pretty much like another one.
The scenery shots/animal pics like those 3 otters sets the mood which to my mind makes the fish pics even more enjoyable

Thanks. On Batchewaung Lake we emerged from dense fog so thick I couldn't see shoreline just a few yards away. It was pretty disorienting not having a visual frame of reference while we paddled along, slowly. The sun began to burn through and made the curious reflection on the still water.

This one was runner up for photo of the week in paddling.net online magazine.

I adjusted IC's captions (they're still probably not right), loaded everything I had left in the can and even added some of my own to fill out the month while I had the time.

Bottom line? We're out as of Labor Day or so, so, send me some shots! Anyone can (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).

I assume todays picture is one of the portages south from Nym Lake.  I tell my newby friends that is a typical Quetico portage.

Distinctive, isn't it?  We exited that way last September.  I'd bet the farm you've correctly identified the location.

I'm actually quite surprised how frequently some of what might seem "nondescript" POD's strike a Quetico memory bell.  I guess some wilderness "visuals" are written in indelible ink.

Jimbo   Cool

I will vote Jesse-to-Maria because I didn't think they had such a long section of it done for Nym-Batch. 

I met one of the guys working on the Nym-Batch section this summer out of a BSA Northern Tier High Advanture Base in Ely.  Cool guys & very helpful too - they offered to carry for us from Nym to Batch after they heard how we lost our canoe & paddles...more in the trip report (yep I need to write that report!)  He told of standing waist deep in mud & dropping huge rocks one after another into the holes on Maria-Jesse a few years back.  All I could do was thank them!   Smiley   

BTW, they call these sections "pavement."

We exited that way last September also; I pretty sure it's the Jesse-Maria portage after major rehab done on the former slogfest.
