I did a quick search of the boards and didn't find anything like this, so here is my question.

What are some of the items, other than trash, that you've found in the parks, such as along portage trails and campsites.

Last year I found two pairs of eye glasses at the spot at the end of the longer of the meadows portages. Both had clearly been there a while, but found it interesting both were within 3 feet of eachother on/under the same bush.

I was in Woodland Caribou and had seen no other paddlers for a few weeks. Found a blue Seirra mug with warm coffee in it at a portage. It was a portage the beavers had flooded and was a    very stinky bog walk, not what you would want to repeat if you did not have too. Never did catch up to anyone so I am still hanging onto it.

I have found tons of campfire grates, usually in the weeds around Q campsites.

On my trip this April I found a spotting scope on a portage between Robinson and Nub. On the last portage between Irene and Kahshahpiwi I found a Grey Owl paddle in immaculate condition leaned against a cedar tree at portage end. It was a long thin beaver tail design, close to 5' tall. Considered carrying it out but it must have weighed close to five pounds- set it back against the tree.

In 1986 while trolling through Mackenzie near the skeleton my partner Scott set his rod down to dig something out  of the pack in front of him. While distracted, boom a fish slams his lure and the rod is overboard and gone. The next day we camped at the Mackenzie  bay narrows site and discovered the previous camper had left his/her rods and reels leaning up against a tree. Scott took this to be a clear sign from God that he was not to be without fishing equipment in the Quetico. Three years later Scott and I are back in Mackenzie, trolling near the skeleton and Scott hooks some old fishing line. First pulls up a broken line end then a very slimy rod and reel on the other end that he swears is the one that went overboard 3 years prior.
