Great report. Thanks for sharing! I have to admit, I'm terrified of bringing chicken on trip and every day the chicken on a stick dinner got postponed my stomach clenched just a bit. Glad it all worked out!

Hi Randy! I really enjoyed your trip report. You are a very good story-teller!! I have been up to Gem twice and both times skunked. It is a difficult portage with the steep hill, downed trees and logs. But it has a nice rock face. I wonder just who has had good luck on Gem. Anyway, fun to read. Thanks...
 

Great report Barry, thanks for posting. I sometimes feel a little guilty about the camp food my kids get when we're out - nice to see the veterans share a similar menu. Although it didn't sound like you guys were doing many s'mores - unless you count the adult version which comes in a cup.   September last year did seem to have a lot of rain.  We were out the weekend after you guys I think and had some good torrential downpours.  I recall Drew reporting something similar as well in his TR on Pen.  Nevertheless, love September camping.

Writing the log helped with cabin fever as does Mark in the Park Season 2

Kudos to Barry as his layout of the trip log definitely enhanced the final result with picture enhancement like “ click for larger image”

Thanks to all for reading the trip log and your feedback . Here’s  hoping we can possibly get a trip of two in the park this season

Til then
Stay safe

Yes sir, Jimmy is quite the individual.
One thing for sure he is always on time for a water taxi pickup 
and should you arrive a tad early you might find him resting 
at the portage :-)
