	Well, well Captain Marten Bligh, did they mutiny and set you adrift on Poodle Lake?

	Serving oatmeal for breakfast one morning, one fella complained that he did not like raisins on his. When he picked up his bowl, they all flew away. pd

	In three 10 day or longer trips with my dog Luna I've never seen any trace of poop around our campsites. WAIT That's TRUE! Mike once told me he saw Luna walk into the forest, dig a hole and do her business then cover it up.

You could cut the tension with a knife and if tension was all they wanted to cut I would have slept better. One paddler had come from Virginia and one evening I made the mistake of mentioning the civil war. He sprang off his stump and with a finger jabbing at my face informed me it was some long name that had northern aggression in it. There were no Walleye to fillet so the amount of time this man spent honing his knife was very unsettling. Our camp spot was a good one at least. Tents were scattered about and mine was strategically located. I trimmed a narrow tunnel and then cleared a tent pad. The final touch was hanging a bear bell across the entry tunnel. Bears were not my concern!

	Funny stuff everyone! On my first solo two years ago in WCPP I was paddling the large bay on the east side of what Marten calls Splitrock Lake and I refer to as Patrick Lake (just to confuse each other) along the west route from Irvine. Along the north side of that bay there is a sloping piece of exposed Canadian Shield about 150m long and 30m wide. On the bottom of the hill next to the shore are several large boulders arranged in a semi circle. On the top of the hill there are some larger boulders as well. I hiked to the top of the hill and was taking in the beauty of it all when all of a sudden the ground started shaking! I just stood there wondering what was going on when all of a sudden a crack opened up in the granite and some smoke came out which quickly turned into the form of the devil himself! He stood right in front of me and we looked each other in the eye for a minute or so, could've been longer. After a while he spoke...."why aren't you afraid of me like everyone else I encounter" to which I replied " why would I be afraid of you, I've been married to your sister for 42 years." He stood in silence for a moment or three, said he understood and went back to wherever he came from. Now I know why those rocks are there.

	They didn't talk to me before they wrote the song...could there possibly be "others" out there? "We are not alone"!

	Joey Lake, Walleyes and Marten's secret weapon Wet conditions, another supper of Mac n cheese and general misery had everyone in their tents well before the unseen sun had set. This did pay off with rising early and noting our first view of the sky since the trip began. Fishing poles were leaning against a tree so I grabbed mine with its hot pink Dardevle hanging from a steel leader. I wanted the others to catch the fish so had not done any fishing the previous day. The Walleye struck as soon as I started to reel in. Our camp was on a rock slope that extended out into the water so the Walleye was pulled splashing out of the water and put on the stringer. All the splashing woke the others but three more casts had four Walleye on the stringer. I put my pole down since I only "fish to eat." Fancy fishing rigs went into action but no fish were caught. I had seen this happen too many times to be surprised. After an hour I decided I would fill my limit and cast the hot pink Dardevle out from where I sat sipping my coffee. As expected Walleye # 5 was added to the stringer. Ugly looks came my way but I tried to explain that the pre trip info included instructions on the fishing lure needed.
