I have to ask who ever was on that trip; you guys carried all that stuff into the WCPP? Large Coleman stove, full size camp chairs, large red cooler, large cooking pot? Hope you had Sherpas!!! AM I wasn't on the trip but I can tell you this, comfort and convenience at camp is, IMHO, a fair trade for those with the ability and I expect even those chairs are a whole lot more comfortable than they look after a long portage or three.

AM I wasn't on the trip but I can tell you this, comfort and convenience at camp is, IMHO, a fair trade for those with the ability and I expect even those chairs are a whole lot more comfortable than they look after a long portage or three. The portages between the put-in at Leano Lake and Mexican Hat are all in pretty good shape and only the one entering Mexican Hat has any real length to it (~80 rods). So, with plenty of hands to carry, its doable in a single day of travel. I made the stretch from Bunny (1st lake after Leano ... maybe 1 hour of travel) to Mexican Hat in a single day on a solo trip and it was pouring rain much of the time. Glenn Lake (referenced in another pic) is easy hop from Mexican Hat ... its the next lake north and portages are very short. So, packing that much gear (while certainly requiring much effort) would be doable if relative fit and if you got a reasonably early start. Its on the order of 13 portages and feels much the same as doing McEwen to Louisa in Quetico (although a couple of the lakes enroute are a tad larger on the WCPP route). dd

	Yes, the picture on 9/28 is from the 5 star campsite near Boundary point on the NE end of Saganagons. We were there for 4 nights in July. 9/29 is from the campsite also. You must have been there! Great spot. We had to do alot of cleanup when we got there, a large white pine had fallen through camp. I moved the fire pit and re-did it, and we cut alot of the branches off the pine to make it easier to get around camp.

	FT Thanks for the confirmation. Some place I have a picture of my Son dressing a fish on that rock. It was taken more than 12 years ago. MagicPaddler

	That's a wild shot today -- what kind of bird is that? Are they in the habit of perching on fingers?

	Yes, very odd how the hummingbirdjust landed right on her water bottle/finger. Luckily her husband got a great photo to document it.
