Well today was interesting. Woke on the western (correction from yesterday) side of lake James. The western side is quite stunning. Spent most of the day boating across in heavy Sunday boat traffic. Made it to the our first portage. While hauling approximately 300 pounds of boats and gear up a steep, tree-blocked path I came out of the woods and out to the road to find a real nasty gang of thugs stealing Joseph's pack. I yelled out to Joseph at a pitch I don't typically use and after a moments hesitation the guy thought better of it and put the bag down. Our efforts were rewarded with a beautiful paddle on the east side of the dam. Total trip miles apx. 32 since old fort.
I would have put that pack down too, if you were running at me with a speculum shouting "time for your spot inspection!"
