I hung up the food bag with a slip knot. Apparently racoons know how to untie a slip knot. Had to drive off about 4 racoons in the morning. We were living on half-rations for the next 3 nights.

I was having a conversation with a friend on my last trip to the park, neither of us have ever seen a raccoon in the back country. Can't swing a cat without hitting one at a car campground. Weird.

I camped at site 15 on Booth in the 80's and it was a raccoon bordello. We had dozens of them descend on our site first night. Nobody in the group got any sleep due to them fighting each other for crumbs. We moved to the campsite 11 next day and not a single masked bandit. 
Dumbest move? getting up from my Helinox chair to get some more firewood and coming back to find the wind blew it into the fire.

Beech-Drops Pond?

cheque is in the mail
Beech-drops Pond (really a small lake) is a really nice spot to paddle for an hour if you're at Achray. High sides, no more than a breeze , and tons of aquatic life to watch through crystal clear water.

RC - glad you find it interesting! Unfortunately, I do not have a TR published from this trip but the route was done a few years ago in the spring. It was a 3-night there-and-back type of trip from Tim River access, up the South River to the POW, then down to Winifred Lake then a night on Big Bob then back out to the Tim.

Did you happen to find the POW camp at Winifred Lake?

Pinetree lake this is not, in fact you may want to veer towards deciduous.
