Terrific pictures!

I should have clarified -- instead of bringing my little one, I am thinking of doing a solo trip.  If I weigh down the front end of a two person standard kevlar canoe, would that work as efficiently as having the weight of a 9 year old in front - instead of having to rent a solo canoe.  

Another option I suppose would be to sit in the middle on the floor of the canoe? 

There were no flies or other insects on it, so perhaps it had been there for awhile. 

@PaPaddler can't comment on the saltiness of it.  

Just returned from a short trip with my little one and came across animal scat about 60 feet from the fire pit.  A quick google showed it was likely moose but now I'm not so sure. (Although I convinced myself that's what it was because I didn't want to even consider it might be bear).  Round in shape and a lot of it!  Almost like horse manure.  I asked a park attendant on our way home and she thought it was likely moose as well.  

1)  Does this sound like moose scat?
2)  Is 60 feet too close for comfort?
3)  If it was a moose, what problems could that pose?

Has anyone encountered a situation where you've reserved the only site on a lake and found it occupied when you've arrived?  Wondering what the protocol is.  Thanks!

Wasn't sure if this falls under the 'equipment' category...

I can't seem to find any prepackaged chicken or tuna pouches.  Have tried Walmart, Fortinos, Food Basics and No Frills.  It seems as though the US grocery stores have a much bigger selection.  Does anyone know where to find them in Canada (Ontario)?

It's not that she can't handle the walking.  It's the carrying of gear for extended periods of time.  I'll be on my own with her so she'll need to help carry.

Thanks a lot tentsterforever.  It's just me and my little one (9 years old).  Good points about the Louisa portage.  How is the Rock - Pen portage?  I've heard it's uphill but obviously much shorter. 

I'm also looking at the Rock - Galeairy route but Galeairy seems like a busy lake to me.
Thanks!
