Went pretty good! We did the 3km in 56mins so we are "budgeting" 1.5hrs for portaging just in case there are complications. We wanted to figure out roughly how far we could go the first day as our orientation isn't until noon so push off possible 1:30 we figure after weight in and what not. So we are thinking of pushing through and doing 2 of the portages the first day to make it at least to Indianpoint Lake quite possibly maybe even the beginning of Isaac Lake (doing the third portage).
Talking with others who have previously made this same trip we've gotten some great tips and pointers and even better some assurances lol.
Anyways some pictures from our hike:
Millipede! (or centipede not sure which)
We haven't seen grasshoppers barely since we moved here. Couldn't walk on the trail without tons hopping out of our way!
Cool view from rest stop
Nice little inner city hike with city view
Monarch Butterfly - did you know that this year marks one of the biggest migrations for monarch butterflies?
We also saw a deer but it was too far away for a picture. And kels saw what he calls "a cool looking spider". No I did not take a picture...
Two weeks today until we push off!
