Day 10 JIMBOREE Last Day Still somewhat breezy this morning as I’m packing up the tent. I look across the camp to see Magic Paddler, Jimbo, Matunik and The Fireman are eating breakfast. I sampled the sauage, egg mix Magic had cooked and it is a must on the next trip. The...

Day 9 Sunrise on Darky Lake Today is our last full day in Quetico kind of a bitter sweet feeling within my soul. It’s been a great trip and the last 10 days have passed all to fast. The food packs are just now getting to the weight they should be, and I must admit, all though...

Day 8 I was up very early this morning and felt the approaching sunrise calling me to the shoreline for a fantastic picture this morning. Today is another moving day. From William Lake we are heading to Darky Lake, also known as Spirit Lake and Dark Water Lake. We broke camp...

Day 5 "Day Two of Jimboree Commences" Part 1 Once again, I would be the last to get out of the tent this morning. I actually was up early but decided since it was a layover day I’d take my time. Once I did get moving I fixed a typical Quetico breakfast for myself. Blueberry Oatmeal, Hot...

Hey everyone It's been a long time since my last visit. I see I have a ton of reading to catch up on. I'm in the need of some canoe building advise, hopping I might find it here. Back about 20 years ago I bought 3 boards. Yellow poplar they are 18 to 24 inches wide 5/4 thick and all are...

TL had the fish ready for the frying pan. I can vouch for TL not only is he a great fisherman. He can cook those so they just melt in your mouth. I can still taste them just thinking about it. We ate all the fish and all of us were stuffed full. Mrs TL made hash browns too, what a treat...

Along about Christmas time 2003 I was sitting in my Quetico room checking the boards and chatting and thinking about the up and coming new year. Hoping that it held a Quetico trip within its bounds. The last few months in talking with friends on the CCBB I found a friend that he as well as I...
