What's better than paddling in Algonquin? Combining it with a weekend of camping, and some cache maintenance that brings me back to some of my favourite spots. After the last 2 posted DNF's, many email inquiries, and an emailed DNF, Elf and I decided to portage out another container, just incase it has gone missing. We arrived in Kiosk late, and knew that most of our paddle, and portages, to Manitou Lake would be completed in the dark. The best part? No wind, a flat lake, and a nice full moon to guide us. We only used our flashlights during the portage. After setting up camp on the island, we made some food, and went to bed. The cache can wait until the morning.
Morning came, and with the water levels so low, we actually hiked along the shoreline to reach the spot... Knock knock! Who's there? Ammo can! Ammo can who? Ammo can still safe and sound! Yep, just as I expected... So, this time, I made sure to snap, and save, some detailed photo on how to locate the cache. It is a difficulty 5 hide after all. So, I've updated the cache page and added some spoiler photos, and a photo of the log book logs. Now I gotta carry this backup 32cal ammo can and swag back through the portages. He he, I could use the workout!
So, hopefully future hunters will bring a copy of the spoiler photo for reference, and we can cleanup some of those DNF's. Thanks everyone for playing!
