The day before was from the Jessie / Maria portage too. It's just not quite as memorable a section. I heard the gold paving was put off 'till 2016 due to tightening budgets.  Cool

It is impressive though. There's even places for excess runoff to pass through. I wonder how long it will last.

The Jesse-Maria 'pavement' was good in 2010 & 2012 - looked pretty much the same over the 2 yr period -- maybe due to maintenance.

db, where's today's pic from?

It's taken from the southern wind shadow of the long island in S Batchewaung Bay. The v in the distance is the first portage towards McAlpine.

Rest up, put the camera away, put on the PFD, grab a painter and go!

Kasakokawog to Cirrus as I recall. It was funny. I was just poking around on a day trip, saw the path and thought not with a borrowed canoe for kicks. There must be a better way. So paddled around to find a much easier way to NOTHING! The actual portage was 100-300 or yrds away to the right and really, really, REALLY - obvious.

The thing that was striking to me is an obvious path to follow presented itself. And so it had been followed. It just didn't go anywhere so it got beaten down twice making it an even more obvious path to follow.... Go figure. Funny how things work.

--------
Sorry for the delay.
I just had to check in person. They have not laid the gold pavers on the Jessie / Maria 'sub-pavement' yet. It's worn down to bumpy gravel in a few spots so they better hurry if they want it level . Wink

There has been no POD for several days.  Why?

The pictos from the previous couple of days are from east side of LLC, between Bottle and Black Robe portages.  They are separated by several feet, so they can't be labeled a mural, but there are relatively close to each other.
