Back in May I did an 8 day loop out of the Shall Lake access point. This was a tough trip. When I showed up at the permit office the person on desk duty looked at our route and said "oh, so you're going on a hike?". The average portage distance was over 1 KM and the average bug bite coverage was 7 million per inch of skin. But we had awesome weather, saw some amazing sunsets, visited ruins and ranger cabins too!
