Earlier this month, Tess Johnston and her daughter-in-law Carole (plus Carole's dog 'Korra') hiked part of the Western Highlands Trail.

Tess has compiled photos of that trip at ... https://www.flickr.com/photos/158091018@N08/albums/72177720328232163

When paddling out on the water and portaging a load, we loose higher levels of sweat to the wind and the exertion. With that high level of sweat, we loose higher levels of sodium and other electrolytes.

Here's some side effects of "low electrolytes" ... possibly experienced on a rigourous day of tripping ... confusion and irritability, d
iarrhea or constipation, fatigue, headaches, irregular or fast heart rate (arrhythmia), muscle cramps, muscle spasms or weakness, nausea and vomiting, numbness or tingling in limbs, fingers and toes.

Immediately NW of Found Lake, beside the parking lot that now serves the Art Gallery, which was the park museum before the Visitors Center was built, visible from Highway 60? I recall using that phone before I had a cell phone. Pay phones were scattered all along the highway at strategic locations. I remember using "calling collect" a lot! Oh! By an access point! More likely by Cache Lake!

I remember that trip back in 2005 when our trails crossed for a moment. But no, these photos weren't that far back .. only 2017 .. from Rock Lake to Pen Lake.

I believe the way I've dealt with the links is to present each viewer with a choice, clearly indicated on each link.

Just gave a critical eye to the fore-mentioned "A-C" list and observed a couple of things. Over the past decade, aside from those campsite report links originating from Cody's and Drew's websites, there's only PCI campsite submissions from a handful of our "community" .. a few from Wanda and myself .. and a considerable  number from the late Chris Taylor. I think it's fair to assume the same limited degree of community content probably exists throughout the entire PCI. While Cody is drawing in a good number of campsite report submissions from guests, he's also out there paddling-the-water and getting a lot of his reports himself. All I'm prepared to do is advise those who don't want to pay for the "PM" reports, is just don't click on those PCI links.
