Re: today's POD, ST... I presume you are carrying a tandem which you flipped around to paddle as a solo?
BTW, nice pic of IC in the above post. Is that a Cirrus Lake campsite? Looks a good bit like the one that DentonDoc & I nearly got blasted off of a few years back by a monster sudden storm (2Z on PaddlePlanner). I could easily be wrong about it but 2Z had a very nice fire pit, much like the one in your pic.

Your 1 out of 2 Jimbo. That is a tandem set-up to paddle solo. The bundle in front of me is my PFD wrapped around a thwart to balance out the load.
It carries just a little bow high but for the pic, I tilted it back so you could see my ugly mug.
The pic of IC is at that no-name bay just northwest of the tip of Eden Island. That firepit is the most elaborate I've ever seen. I think the Native People use it to smoke Red Suckers they net in the spring from the spill-out?
You line up a riffle and you're in the bay that holds the 2 portages into Cirrus Lake.
It's the only campsite on the bay. On the north shore about midway down. The western portage is along that spill-out which I've walked but never used. You want to fish that spill-out.
On the far east end, you have that flat/short portage into Cirrus. If you hate portages or have a physical issue, taking the short portage from BH into Quetico Lake and then paddling down to that short flat portage is the way to go.
I think both together are not much more than a 100yds give or take.
