Mossback -

Well, you see, we had it set up THAT way, but well, er, things didn't work out so well. 

Long-term QJer's have long wondered whatever became of the character (& prolific poster) on this website known as "Quetico Passage" ("Bo" to his friends).  You see, he disappeared - all of a sudden, like - from the QJ website.   Well, rolling that rock up there was one of Bo's hare-brained ideas.  Let's just say this idea went south... a bit more so than they usually did.

Anyhow, now the mystery is solved.  It seems somewhat fitting that an "erratic" is known as the "QP Memorial Rock" to those of us in-the-know.

Later,

Jimbo   Cool

An erratic seemed like an appropriate memorial given his erratic persona. Hard to know if the pack extenders or rolling the erratic had more to do with his disappearance from QJ...we may never know. Cool Wink

Are we on the southwest bay of Suzanette?

My guess would be the south bay of Darky, not far from the portage into Argo.

Correct, and the preceding 3 days also.

Actually, I thought Solus made a pretty good guess. 

For one thing, it helps that I participated in that particular trip and pretty much KNOW the order of our travel... assuming db puts them into chronological order.  The second "memory marker" for me, seared into my brain sadly enough, was the big lake trout I lost not far off that wall.  I tend NOT to forget those places!

Too bad the glacial erratic we rolled up the wall didn’t stay put. I knew we shouldn’t have left it so close to the edge... Wink Cool

Bill,

Um, my paddling partner, Bo, & I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.  We missed that portage "view" entirely (& thankfully)!

Probably some decent blueberries up there in the nosebleed section of your trail....
