We have spent three days traveling through Quetico Provincial Park. The first camp was on Tanner Lake (the picture of the canoes), the second was on Sturgeon and tonight we are on an island East of Emerald Island on Pickerel Lake.
We were on the water again this morning at 6:30, paddling the narrow, twisting river from Sturgeon to Twin Lakes. We interrupted three moose having their morning meal as we approached the first portage. After carrying several canoes and our gear across the 800 meters we were all getting tired. The second portage, Pine, was about 500 meters, and left everyone tired and hungry. After a long lunch we paddled for an hour into Pickerel Lake and found a nice campsite on an island.
Ellie, on the right in the third picture, is one of the captains of the Shawnigan crew. She has paddled with us for this section while John is away for a few days.
