"was it on the right side of Elizabeth on the eastern end?"

ST, that spot was on the North bank of Elizabeth, before you get to the very east end.  I don't remember the portage from that pond to Halliday, but that usually means that it was not too hard to find - but my memory is somehat dim.

of course, by now, they may have cut a new route thru there

ok, I looked at a map (can't copy it it seems) - what I'm thinking of is maybe an eighth of a mile before the very eastern end of Elizabeth, there is a little stream that connects Eliz to an unnamed lake that you travel to get to Halliday - that little stream was where we did the roller log thing.  So its not a portage from Eliz to Halliday, rather its Eliz to unnamed to Halliday.

use the link below (couldn't get it to save to the detail) - in the search box for Find Locations, type in Halliday Lake and poke the arrow on right;  that gets you to a drop down list of lakes with that name - click on the one that says Rainy Lake and that will take you to the topo.  you can see that little stream at the north shore that takes yoo to the unnamed lake - maybe its considered a part of ELiz? I don't know, but it took us a long time to figure out that we had to take that little channel - it was almost dry that year - you may have paddled right thru ?
