I didn't hesitate with my answer,,which of course was 'yes' but then during the evening I did ponder his leav- ing remark that there was a four and a haîf mile portage. 1 do recaîl some of the por- tages in the park and even in the twenty age bracket they were somewhat of a trial. With this thought in mimd I phoned Ted the next morning, and said you better cout me out t'm in no way up for a four and a haîf mile portage let alone the paddling to Hogan Lake. "l'Il only be a hold-up". 1 was informed there was no paddling for the group will be using 'kickers' and carts will be used to move the equîpment over the portage. With this assurance I was back on traclç for the trip tu Algonquin. Ted and 1 left Orono Thursday evening arriving in Wilberforce around ten where we prepared for the, trip, catching a few winks of sleep before treking out at four a.m. for a two hour vehlicle trip to Opeongo Lake, loading ail equîpmient and boats on two water taxis for an hour and haîf trip up the lake and then our first portage. Ilt was a new experience for m le uISing alumninumi boats with miotors and a set of wheels which were strapped to the bottom of the boats for the portages. AIl equipment then placed in the boat and like a pair of oxen you take your place ai the front to push or 'Pull the boat and equipment over the terrain. The first two portages were rather short but it meant fastenîng and unfastening the set of wheels and re- arranging the load a number of times for either water or land travel. We stili had a hour and a haîf water travel up Little and ment decline oit the school system in the Newtonville area. Board members were forced to reorganize the Newtonville Public School in order to avoid triple grading with the Newcastle Public School. The junior schools of Newcastle and Newtonville have been twinned for a number of years combining one Principal and one Vice- principal. The schools have mainitained separate organizations for the Grade 1 to 6 student body. The Kindergarten classes have always been grouIped together and located ai the Newcastle School. Big Crowe Lakes before tne real test of the four and a half muler. That woulçl take us well mbt Newcastle from Orono and we were not travelling over any highway. It s0 happens we made it although after haîf way over the course t would not sit down to rest for I'm sure I would neyer have gotten up again. At three in the afternoon we dîd arrive at our camp ite and you more than likely guessed it, it was-at the very extreme end of Hogan Lake. We travelled with four from Bancroft, two from Hamilton and two experienc- ed outdoorsmen from Wilberforce. I was prepared for some good fishing and would take time for bird watching as it was quite evident warblens had arrived through thein spr- ing migration. We had no problems with black flues as it was cold and ini this part of the country it would be at least a week before they would appear. The first night was pure en- joyment just laying the body down with a cold breeze blowing through the tent and yet feeling the warmth tucked away in the sleeping bag. If anything this was the highlight not only on the first night but on the other two nights we camped out in the park. It started to ramn and for a brief period turned i nto a soft hail. The whole week-end was marked with a brief peiod of three hours of heated suni shine.
