180
+
Day 30 & 31 were spent in & around camp on Seagram Lake, a diversely varied lake of considerable beauty.
181
+
One day I caught a lake trout from camp for breakfast, had canned herring for lunch and then caught a smallmouth bass for supper.
182
+
Felt like Fish Friday!
183
+
On day 31 I paddled to the east end of Seagram & scouted an old road as a possible extraction route, but couldn't definitively conclude its viability.`

188
+
Wanted to stay another day on Seagram.
189
+
It continued to be incredibly calm and pleasant, surrounding vibrant spring greens at their peak.
190
+
Prudence dictated I move to my pickup point, normally only a couple of hours away.
191
+
Packed slowly, pain complicating things.
192
+
On the go at 1 but slow & painful on the portages, beaver dams and other obstructions.
193
+
Gear on pickup road at 6. Setup my tent on the road and strung a tarp and bug bag on the portage for a cooking/lounging area.
194
+
Supper after 9.

Pack up camp and get ready for Don & Pete, who left North Bay 9:15, to arrive.
201
+
When they hadn't arrived by 2 I began to get concerned. By 5 i was very concerned! Not for myself.
202
+
I had shelter and food for the night. They had only the truck for shelter & who knows what scenario?
203
+
Turns out there were navigation problems leading to low fuel forcing a retreat.
204
+
Alex sent his son-in-law to bring me to Obabika.

The guys arrive with a month's supplies & some summer gear plus lots of fresh fruit & other foods.
211

I'm able to backup the photos & videos I've shot so far to my laptop & send it back.
212

We spend the evening relaxing with Alex.

After a hearty breakfast the guys head out around 1 and suddenly my cabin is very quiet.
219
+
The wind changes& picks up, temperature drops,& I realize my good fortune here on the cabin.
220
+
I sent my warm sleeping bag & all long underwear out with the guys so would've been on the edge if id found myself out in a tent bearing the brunt of that weather.

text: `<h2>Day 43</h2>
239
+
Spent the week recuperating at Alex's.
240
+
Spent the days in and around my cabin, stretching, hobbling & lying around eating assorted painkillers and anti-inflamatories.
241
+
Got all my laundry done over several days.
242
+
I was seriously considering pulling the plug on this whole project & calling for a ride out when things began to show improvement…
243
+
It would seem that the chin-up bar I rigged up and used as a traction device started to make a difference!
244
+
Yesterday was the first day in almost 3 weeks I didn't take painkillers.
245
+
Also got out in my canoe for short spins the last 2 days, something I hadn't done in over a week.
246
+
I'm gonna see how this weekend goes and may move out of the cabin in the next day or two. We'll see…

You wouldn't believe how reluctant I was to do this but….
253
+
I called Don to come and take me out.
254
+
Don't know yet when that'll happen, but should be next few days. I've gotta be realistic.
255
+
I've been stalled for over two weeks now. Today is Day 45 of the trip and Day 21 of pain…. ☹️`

// Week 4 To sum it all up? Pure screaming’ agony!

-
// Day 23 After writing & sending Week 3 updates went for a hike to locate a cliff top Lookout I’d noticed a few years ago from the water but was unable to find it. On the way noticed an odd sensation in my right foot that later became obvious as a symptom of a building sciatica attack.
182
-
// Day 24 a rain day. Rearranged my gazebo, made a few repairs & finished my last e-cigarette. Back/leg pain increasing.
183
-
// Day 25 rained in the morning & in aft scouted the next portage & found it in fine shape. Sciatica really kicking in!
184
-
// Day 26 Very restless sleep with back pain. Moved to Bluesucker Lake. 11 hrs to make 11 km w/ 5 portages. Had to cut & flag a 500m portage & last one was just a ridiculous bushcrash. In camp late, supper at 10 & forgot to send location updates. My location was: 47.16374, -80.59473.
185

// Day 27 moved to Talking Falls, 4km with one portage, 135m took over an hour! Slipped & gashed my arm. T-storm hit just after setting up bug shelter.
186
-
// Day 28 restless night. Took over 5 hours to pack up & go. 7 hrs to make 8 km w/ 4 short portages. Can carry pack loads ok but canoe is agony. Walking upright near impossible. Setting up camp agony, specially overhead work stringing tarp ropes. Supper after 10 again & forgot to send locations.

// Day 29 hard to get comfortable sleep. Answered messages from last 2 days. Overhauled malfunctioning stove. Saw 1st human since leaving Dan Day 16. Dan from Pittsburgh on a solo trip. Resting today and if back not better will arrange a partial extraction at Twinkle L. (a few hours travel and 3 short portages from here) & go to Alex’s on Obabika to recoup. Have been on ibuprofen since day 24 & periodic 1/4 Perc when moving (might explain some of the tumbles I’ve taken).]
