There have been some really great TRs about the Whitney Loop, this is not going to be one of them.
We left from the Park Headquarters around 11 AM on the 17th of Sept

R-L Me, my son Josh, and his friend Mike. I'm paddling a Keywaydin 15, They are in a Souris River Quetico 17.
Little Tupper was behaving very well, I read a lot of TRs that start out with being windblown at the start, but we saw none of that. Although we were paddling into the wind the lake was calm.

The paddle down to Rock Pond was great the Swamp Maples added a brilliant splash of red everywhere. We ended up at site 26, a small site with a lot of blowdowns.![P9170535.JPG P9170535.JPG](https://www.canoetripping.net/data/attachments/23/23434-21e36084b3f95748929b63635a9b7aea.jpg)

The next morning we started out at about 8 AM for the carry over to Hardigan Pond and that's when the fun started. It poured on us most of the carry. Lots of mud.![P9180542.JPG P9180542.JPG](https://www.canoetripping.net/data/attachments/23/23437-0bfee10a122b8808c6c0da9b0de05df8.jpg)

We push on to the primitive site at the take-out to the carry to Lilypad Pond. Somewhere we lost the water.

After setting camp we carried the canoes over to Lillypad to get a jump on the next day. The put-in at Lillypad was another mudhole![P9190556.JPG P9190556.JPG](https://www.canoetripping.net/data/attachments/23/23442-2f3a71fb708117cdfecb120b3cdc0e32.jpg)
Along with the take-out

Lila also behaved herself and we cross it easily. The rain let up during the crossing.
Shortly after making the RR tracks it started to pour again and continued much of the afternoon![Screen Shot 2022-10-19 at 7.41.23 PM.png Screen Shot 2022-10-19 at 7.41.23 PM.png](https://www.canoetripping.net/data/attachments/23/23444-6f898c6c78e253c10351adf7282b5d78.jpg)
