The First Canoe Trip


Finally, meetings are over and CanoeBob is set for his first solo trip of the year. A journey into the wilds of Algonquin; from Hambone Lake, north-east through Ralph Bice Lake (the big one on the map), Little Trout Lake, Queer Lake, Little Misty Lake, and then return along the Petawawa River to Daisy Lake and back to Hambone.

I calculate a total trip of 30 km including 10 portages, of which the 2.5 Km portage into Misty Lake looks like the worst. Tomorrow it is time to get the shopping done and do a few push-ups to get in shape.
