The group is staying put today at a nice campsite. This afternoon, they will do some archaeology in nearby portions of the river and perhaps set some snares to catch some fresh meat. Last night was the first chance to try out the reflector oven that Ben made with a batch of brownies. The icing covered up the ash and charred bits--they were delicious.

Last night, some socializing around the bon fire. Today the group travelled out of the hills surrounding Woolet Lake and into flatter country. They made a short portage of 200 m and shot a few riffles on the way. Gabriel has gotten over his fear of using moss for T.P. This is an important step.

Ben reports this morning that the group spent a relaxing Sunday at a campsite located just below the outlet of Chiikakuiweu Saakihiikan (Woolet Lake). On Saturday, they found an interesting archaeological site on Chiikakuiweu Saakihiikan which produced flakes of Mistassini quartzite.

Ben reports that the group is camped at the bottom of the portage, at the entrance to Chiikakuiweu Saakihiikan (Woolet Lake). Pike for supper!

The group is camped at the foot of the famous Maahiikan Kaapaatakan (Wolf Portage). Ben reports that today they found an interesting archaeological site containing stone tools and a trade bead. Speckled trout for supper.

A fantastic crossing of nearly 10 kilometers of open water.

The team has entered the Mistissiniuukamikw section of the lake. They find a large archaeological site with stone chips and a complete clay smoking pipe, and also visit the famous rock, after which Mistassini Lake is named. They camp at the head of the famous Mistissini Kaapaataakansh (Mistissini small portage).

Departure from Mistissini.
