    Today, we went to Poirier Lake to get it ready for the the first group. We take the dock to a sheltered bay each fall and remove the anchor pipes. In the spring we return the dock and reinstall the anchor pipes.

    It is so nice having a home in the bush. The local male partridge has been drumming at regular intervals every day. Louise took this picture of his display in our driveway.

    We walked the portages for Monroe and Unnamed cutting out the winter dead falls. All portages are in good shape. The low water levels necessitated paddling the last 100 feet into the portage at Unnamed Lake.

    April 27, we went to Monroe Lake. Bill had been planning to fix the ramp and the dock as soon as we had lower water levels. After a two-year delay, we finally have the lower levels.
