Planning out my trip, looking for any feedback or warnings or alternate routes or points of interest that i might be missing. Planning on getting a shuttle at both ends since I'm yet to come up with any loops that I like. I'll have 11 days total for this, though I'm planning on only having 9 to give me 2 days available to sacrifice to wind/weather/etc).
Trip is planned around Talking Falls to Chapin Lake (this is generally how I plan - pick some things that I want to see the most, and figure out a route to make that happen. Last year I planned around wanting to do the south fork of the Lady Evelyn to Florence Lake, this year it's the Misabi range, so this is the only section I'm not willing to change (though I am open to changing direction of travel if advised to do so).
General overview:
days 1-2 Gamble to Florence (hoping to make it to Florence on the first day and then have a full day to do whatever there)
day 3 Florence to Talking Falls (I did Florence to Pilgrim in 1 day last year, so I'm pretty confident this is a similarly tiring but doable day for me)
days 4-5 Talking Falls to Chapin (seems like too much for a single day, so I'll just take my time because I want to enjoy camping at Chapin and not be worn out for the sketchy seeming portage down from Chapin to Naismith Creek)
day 6 Chapin to Wakimika (might be a bit too ambitious, half planning on stopping short of Wakimika)
here's where I'm a bit torn on what to do next.
days 7-8 and maybe 9 South to Obabika-Temagami, ending at the Temagami Access Road
or
days 7-8-9 North to Diamond-Lady Evelyn (and probably Sugar-Lady Evelyn, if I still have portage power) ending at Mowat Landing
