There was no permanent damage to my knee.  I bruised the "patella" (knee-cap), and learned that bones can be bruised. (I didn't know that before Birchcliffe...)

I found the "Corned Beef" at a local "Freshco".  There was a large end-of-the-isle box of them on sale for $0.98 a month or so before our trip so I picked a few up since I believe it satisfies the "no cans or bottles" rule.  That was the first and last time I've ever seen it, though I've not searched too hard to find it again!

Here's a photo of the left-over package I still have:

I liked your tarp setup with the canoe!

@GordK: There was a group of about half a dozen, possibly a youth group?  They looked completely gassed - we silently hoped they were scheduled to stay on one of the "Kawas", but we had already passed two groups that told us they were staying there, so that wasn't looking too good for them.

@Ron_S: Thanks!  It turned out to be a very comfortable spot.

@boknows: Thank you for reading, Bo!  We're getting psyched for this years trip, hoping we can find time for one!  We're toying with the Tim river up to the Nippissing, over and down to Robinson/Burntroot, "The Trouts", Petawawa, and back out via Little Misty, Queer, and the Tim River.  There is a fair bit of repeat there for us, so we're still searching...
