Nice! I'm not a big portage fan either. I'm still developing a good system. I Solo trip all the time and i've never really been bored either. I'f you are getting bored than you may want to take up knitting. not tripping.
@futurhumen This was my first solo and I didn't train for it.... atleast not in a canoe. At the time I was pretty active at the gym, which helped a lot. I did a LOT of map research in advance having never paddled those lakes before. Guessed out a route then just went for it....
And am I a skilled paddler? I've been paddling a long time (since I was a young pup)...but this was my first chance going solo for any more than a km or two. Distance was about 75KM.
this is pretty cool rob. during july, i went on a 13 day canoe trip throughout algonquin park with Camp Tamakwa (i am a camper there). we went up to kiosk and over to opeongo and then back to canoe lake where the camp is.
