This site is intended to help prospective paddlers of the Leaf River, especially those who are considering an initial portage from Hudson Bay to the Leaf's headwaters of Lake Minto. It's also meant to help me share and retain my own memories, which -- as readers of Day 19 will understand -- are the only record of the expedition I have.
