I have no doubt there is a list of legitimate reasons why the map is not out yet. I also have no doubt that when it does come out, it will be awesome. But don't tell me it's coming out within... or by next... and then not deliver. Being strung along pisses me off.

It's beyond weird now - wish they would either produce the map or at least come clean as to why it will never happen.

I'll add that the portage out of Sylvia is one heck of a wake up call - I can see how one would consider it a nice side-trip (without the gear).

Reading now - I always enjoy your reports.

If I may, paragraphs 5 and 6 repeat themselves.

With all due respect and sincere condolences to his loved ones and friends, that is about a best case scenario for punching one's ticket, in my book. Godspeed.

I knew that wouldn't be long.

Yes - low, this was September 2019. The takeout going to Fraser was especially lumpy.

This one won't win any composition awards...

Were you having a yard sale? 

Spent our last night there Spring 2019. "Not nice" is the kindest description I can muster to describe the site's condition. Too bad because it had such an interesting layout.

Let's see what I can dig up for 497 - pickin's might be slim...

Pen next to the Rock portage?

Weather.gc.ca for me too, for forecasts and radar.

For actual/live/local info, I like the NOAA's MADIS site: NOAA MADIS Surface Observations

I used to send my weather station data, too - but then I started to get spammed. My own site: littledoorfarm.com

I find the KMZ file with Google Earth is much more useful.

I don't know where that is, but I want to be there. Nice shot!

As you say "that site" I wonder if you mean St. Francis, which only has one campsite? Francis Lake has a few. 

I've stayed on the St. Francis site. Nice dead-end lake for total seclusion. The campsite was a bit challenging with virtually nowhere to set up a tent on flat ground, and lots of poison ivy. 

Oops - good catch. I did mean St. Francis.
