Of course, as is well understood, our river also drains the eleven lakes of the Fox lake chain or group. From very small beginnings, in a run of little over • hundred miles as the crow flies, it reaches McHenry a good sized stream, able to justify the existence of several boat factories and a Navigable Waterway association. - After two other attempts, made in the two previous years, which were failures because of low water, we seized the opportunity afforded by the recent high flood level and again attempted an exploration of the upper Fox. On many occasions I had heard canoeists and other river Voyagers, passing my cottage, calmly state that they had "Taken a little run up to Waukesha," or were on their way thereto.
