I have done several caches previously, and will do another one this summer. We will be completing a large figure 8 loop. We will be passing through the same lake 3-4 days later, why carry the end of trip food and booze the entire time?

Typically we do not hang at sites or portages though. We will find an easy to recognize spot on a shore, hang the food properly. I am more worried about humans than animals at this point.
 

think beaches, clear water, and some historical finds

Laurel?

getting very close, still a little too far west.

three portages will get you to this lake

Looks like the Wet Lake campsite but that doesn’t work with the clues. Francis?

same number of campsites, but this lake is west of francis, and north of francis.

Traverse?

it is indeed in the north, but not that far east.
 

based on the trip report, looks like Rumley?

It is not Three Mile nor Misty. 
This lake is more... bay-ish(?) and this site has an exclusive view of the pictured bay on this particular lake.

Shad Lake?
 

cascade where the L'Amable du Fond enters North Tea at the P280?

Day 2 : Hurdman Lake to Little Cauchon Lake
TOTAL KM: 7.1 KM       
# OF PORTAGES (DISTANCE): 2 (0.3 KM)


           
I woke up to a calm, misty morning. We did not have a very big day of travel, so I let Rich and Ryan sleep in a little bit. Henry ate his breakfast while I lowered the food bag and started to make coffee. By the time the egg and bacon wraps were ready the other guys were starting to crawl out of their hammocks.
           
Our plan for the morning was to head North from Hurdman and bump our way into West Corbeau Lake to see the ranger cabin ruins on the P250 into Stretch Lake.
We would then return back to our campsite on Hurdman for lunch before making our way to Little Cauchon Lake.



Once breakfast was finished, and all of our worldly belongings were squared away in our packs, we loaded the canoes and began our day. After a short paddle we arrived at the first portage to the left of a shallow rapid. We dropped all of our bags off to the side of the portage to be picked up on our return visit. Ryan and Rich carried their boat over the P70 and I decided to leave the dog in the canoe, and just walked up the middle of the rapid. The current was not overly strong, but the water was cold and the bottom of the stream was covered in slippery rocks. The fastest way was to portage, but it was more fun to walk the water.


           
The river was shallow but we were able to just barely paddle to the next portage. This section from Stretch to Aura Lee would be less fun in the dead heat of summer when the water levels are lower. We elected to carry the next two portages (the P130 and P100), but we really could have walked up these rapids as well. We decided we will try to walk or paddle down all three on the way back.
