Today's POD is my idea of just about a perfect landing/put-in spot.  Smiley

Don't ya just love a good canoe harbor?  This is a very nice spot on the east side of Moose Camp Lake in the BW. And wouldn't ya know, I saw and heard a bull moose calling the cow. It was late September.  Quite a thrill to see the giant bull with a golden rack through the binocs from camp.

This is actually an entry point.  Solus could paddle here blindfolded.  Grin

Looks like that paddle down the creek involved a bit of friction. A pretty meadow to begin with but if you're eager to start and afflicted with both scraping and bottom suck it can feel endless.

I never had to get out and walk.  I remember poling a bit but it got better.  After a week of rain every day, going out was a very different experience along here.

I had something similar during an October trip. Barely able to float the creek on the way down (having to get out at the rocky narrows right before Mudro to get over the rocks) and on my return I had to fight against significant current all the way up.

Yes, that is what I remember.  Totally different experiences.  I was ready for a chill little creek paddle on the way out and I had to fight a strong current.  It was not easy.  There were  several big dumps of rain during that week.
