I believe the route was about 70 miles. So, we probably did about 10 miles a day.

Yes, the birth of Float Stanley in WCPP! What a fitting place.

quote kanoes: "nice report...brings back some great memories dan!"


Yes I agree!


This was the beginning of many adventures for me! Thank you Jan for being forgetful!


Kiporby 04/05/2012 05:39PM
Yes, it is a great place. Can't wait to do another trip there in the future.

Great blog.


Isn't that place something?


Some of the portages are so little used you need a compass. We used to go in September through a local outfitter out of Red Lake. He was trying to drum up autumn business and charged us so little I used to wonder how he made any money. One year he told us there'd only been 900 people through - the entire season!

same trip, another version

Kip got the good tent pads.


Jan got the bad tent pads.


If he didn't like it, TOUGH! :)


Nah, we all just kinda picked our spots at random and never fought over one.
TomT 03/18/2012 05:55AM
One more question. How did you go about selecting tent pads? Was it a rotating selection of who got to pick first?


The biggest group I was ever with only had two canoes and 4 people. Four tents on a site seems problematic but I don't really know so I guess that's why I'm asking.


I think a 4 group solo would be both very fun but yet challenging at the same time. Comparing each other's gear and food would be fun.


Kiporby 03/17/2012 06:08PM
Everyone brought their own food, gear, stoves, tents, etc. About all we shared was the large tarp and fire grate.
TomT 03/17/2012 01:42PM
Very nice trip. Was wondering what items you shared as a group? Looks like one tarp was used but what about stoves? Did everyone bring their own food? I take it no one shared tents.


Kiporby 03/16/2012 08:21AM
Thanks all for the compliments.

Fantastic trip report! We've been talking about Woodland Caribou since last fall & not sure we can make it happen this summer, but man, all those great pictures make me want to get up there even more. Thanks!
AndySG 03/04/2012 10:35AM
A good read and splendid photos Dan! A trip of a lifetime, for sure.
Kiporby 03/04/2012 08:16AM
Yes, the same campsite Nctry! How close to the camp was that cave? We did not see that.
nctry 03/03/2012 11:38PM
Did the same trip pretty much in 2010. Stayed at the same campsite I think on Aegean. Recognize the big rocks... You were very close to the cave.

Nice kip.....what took so long? ;)
jcavenagh 03/03/2012 03:08PM
Nice trip! I was emailing with Harlan just this morning about a possible route in that general area! Thanks for the great pics, and the tip about the Paull lake campsite.
kanoes 03/03/2012 02:14PM
nice report...brings back some great memories dan!
Kiporby 03/03/2012 01:18PM
A couple years in the making to finish the report, but better late than never. :)
