Goose plane taking off from Slate Lake leaving us for our first night of our adventure

     As we unloaded our gear from the two Grumman Goose Aircraft the first thing we noticed was the Beauty all around us. Adrenaline was high with anticipation of the paintings that would come out of this place. The mosquitoes were thick and the thought of Grizzly Bear was on our minds. High mountain peaks and large elk racks were strewn on the ground where they had been left by the animals. Beaver could be heard slapping the water, signaling to us of their displeasure for having to share this little piece of Heaven.
