As Ron mentioned, several us left P19 at Lac Philippe and then went south into the plateau area, eventually ending up at Lac Charette south of Lusk. We were wandering through the series of lakes, ponds, and creeks in that area, sometimes following someone's tracks, often making our own. After seven hours and 27 kilometers (more or less), we made it back to the Lac Philippe parking lot. It was a beautiful winter day and skiing was superb, although the wooded areas were often deep in snow and hard to ascend. We followed otter tracks for at least one kilometer (see photo) as it plunged under the snow to reach the creek below and emerged 50 meters down, leaving a muddy exit hole. Thanks for Dave for the inspiration and guidance and Mike for his aplomb and copious photography. Mike excelled in back country pole basket repair. Thank you, too, to Ron for joining us on the route to Lusk.
