I've been reading though the other trip reports and feel I should put this up, even if it is 2 months late!
Spoiler alert: this report is not for the squeamish or weak of stomach, we had a casualty which became a fatality, but it's not so bad...in a way.
Our group always goes for an early season wilderness canoe trip, before the bugs and before leaf out, for comfort and ease of carrying where there may be no trail.
This year it was decided we would camp on Round Lake in the Whitney Wilderness area, and paddle/carry the outlet of Round Lake to the confluence with the Bog River, taking out at Bog River Falls.
Some of you may already know, some may not...I build strip canoes, lots and lots of canoes. Hence the name, stripperguy.
Anyway, we had a few of our group drop out just before our departure, so some last minute shuffling of boats was required, we ended up bringing 2 of my tandems and my DY Special solo, as well as my buddy's competition cruiser.
Oops, gotta go...more to come!!
