	QJ terminology almost needs a thread of its own to provide proper translation. Railroad ties, not just for breakfast anymore.

	I think it's actually a badge of honor! Wear it proudly and embrace your fortitude. Seriously, thanks for the link. I nearly spit up my coffee while reading that first thread. I secretly wish I could write trip reports that are 1) that engaging and 2) that humorous! I'm still chuckling...thanks to you and Old Salt for making my morning....now I have to pour over my Mackenzie's to plan a cache lake trip....and just maybe a way into one of these "Stumpy lakes"...

	As most things are that are portaged, they were multi-purpose. But that was a good reminder. :dankk2

Jon I'm planning to attend the Jamoree. My only issue is that I'm building a house and it might be move-in week during the Jamboree. I never back out of trips and going to the Q at least a few times a year is critical. But move-in weekend trumps everything I guess. I sort of chuckled when I read you might pop into Hoare on your way to or from the BWJ. I know the route and if you look at it closely, you will have a half mile bushwhack into Hoare and another 1/2 mile bushwhack ito the BWJ lake. Doing two of them on one trip is a formidable task. But alas, I agree with you that's it's so close to Hoare, how cold I not want to go back there once again! I have learned that I am an exceptional bushwhacker planner. But I'm not as good at doing what I planned once I step into the tangle of forest. Tom

	I was in Quetico with my 13 year old daughter. If we could have made Poohbah by the 3rd day, I'd have gone for it. With a new job & little vacation time, including family was a must & trumped any individual Jamboree plans. My daughter was willing, but early on I could see she wasn't up to it. We went up to McIntyre. Had a good trip. I wonder if anyone showed up?.....It's a lake I'd like to visit.

	A total of 3 voyageurs actually made it to the 3rd Bushwhacker's Jamboree... and 2 of them don't count, according to Stumpy's official set of rules. MagicPaddler arrived a day early with all of his gear & actually camped on the designated lake. The following day, two day-trippers arrived (identity, as yet, unknown). Magic says he has film footage of the "Jamboree." They spent a grand total of 15 minutes together and then the pair disappeared, presumably headed back to their camp on the main drag. Magic mentioned he fished the Jamboree lakes but made no comment re: his catch. The following day he, himself, "moved on", heading to the campsite on Poohbah (on the island opposite the entry to the Memory Lane portages) where my son & I camped over a month ago. While, technically, Magic Paddler is the only person to satisfy the standards of Stumpy's Bushwhacker's Jamboree quest, honorable mention goes to the unknown pair who winged it in there for a day. More to follow, I'm sure, in Magic's account of this event. Super kudos to Magic Paddler for his achievement. Magic, after Opasquia and some of the bushwhacks I KNOW you have been through in the past few years, I'm not quite sure how you managed to remain with the living quite this long. Truly, you are an inspiration to youngsters like me... & I'm 60! Jimbo

	While it's not my thing, perhaps a new rule is needed for this event. We'll call it the Stumpy Clause. "The one who plans the event should attend the event." Seems like a giant practical joke if only one person/group makes it.

	Congratulations to Magic Paddler ! It was nice of any of you, to not make an uproar over me picking the lake, since I said all along I could not attend. In 5 years I should have much more vacation time, & fully intend to be there. MP...You da man !
