	They were on McAlpine Creek headed east to McAlpine Lake. Nice paddle but choked with weeds just under the surface making it harder than it looks.

	I love those meandering creeks, even when choked. Came through the creek/marshland south from McEwen toward Glacier late one evening and it might be my favorite paddle ever in Quetico. So calm. So pregnant. So peaceful. Saw three beaver at close range, and one slapped hard and went. -kypaddler

	I'm guessing in the spring before the weeds build up there is considerable current thru there? I like those meandering creeks too as long as you can paddle them and not wade most of time. Jean creek is great when the water is high enough and Bearpelt creek is a nice paddle BOTH ways.

	That stretch of Cutty Creek between Camel & Baird has its allure, as well. Jimbo

	ST, Re: today's pic... DentonDoc & I went through that exact spot (going the other way) in late July. I think we had a bit more water than you did as I do not recall having any issues of our paddling getting mucked up by the vegetation. It's amazing how a single pic can bring back so many memories. Thanks for sharing! Jimbo

	It's amazing to me how much different areas can look/paddle with just a little higher/lower water level. I really liked that paddle despite the vegetation issue. I think there are some pics in my POD's showing Jean Creek at the lowest level I've ever seen it. When I compare those pics to my 21-day 2015 spring trip you wouldn't even know you were in the same area.

	Hey ST, is today's POD the Booth Lake portage in Algonquin Park?

	It's the start of the B-Chain going south from Pickerel Lake. My first time thru there. I knew there was a dam, just didn't know it was so prominent. Quite the flow there, I'm sure despite the warnings kayakers probably try/run it. I'd give it a shot in warm weather, empty plastic canoe and someone with rescue bag ready to toss.
