Do you ever wonder who that was you met on the portage? A memorable moment but you can’t remember, or never got, their names? I often wonder who it was….
“Eric” the solo paddler who I met on the portage out of Plough Lake? We paddled together a while and you showed me the plaque on Ottertrack Lake. July 1997
The group on the portage, south end of Agnes who called Barb and I “Trail Angels” when we gave you our extra coffee because you had run out ? We were glad to lighten our loads for that long portage. July 1999
The fellow who noticed how smart we were to bring fly swatters along during fly season. You got my swatter as a reward. Sandy beach, Bailey Bay, on your way into the Q ?
The three guys I met on a late afternoon at Split Rock Falls, who greeted me with “Madame Voyageur” and I think were the ones to first dub me “intrepid” ? You helped me carry my things across the portage. July 2001
Are you the Scout leader (Tom) camped at Chatterton Falls who offered me morning coffee when there was a fire ban and I didn’t have a stove with me ? I was so glad for the coffee; and you told me where the better portage was. July 2001
Or the other solo canoe who paddled an empty and calm Crooked Lake, about a mile across the lake from me ? We were watching a magnificent early summer thunderstorm approach from the South, and even though we didn’t meet, we did share the moment. June 1999
Was it me? Middle aged, chunky lady in stubby fat kayak with unbelieveable amount of gear stuffed into it, and a tent that hangs in a tree???
