Meadow Portage BBQ

June 3rd -- This is the original portage between Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba and the location for a community hosted BBQ. The winds were moderate today compared to what these big lakes can deliver. Tomorrow will be my first time out on the big lakes.

Bill and I have been out of commission for three days since we were hit with some kind of Brigade Bug which delivered stomach flu like symptoms. Michel had been out for a few days prior and will only be back in the canoe tomorrow. We were lucky to make it through the first wilderness camping night before the rapid onset of the illness - at least one crew was not so fortunate. It makes you wonder how the folks 200 years ago suffered without Immodium.
