LINER NOTES: The Hunt Is Still On Our mission is still to locate a suitable place for establishing a permanent outpost camp. We thought we had the site we wanted (Miniss Lake) at the end of last season, but have since discovered that the island we selected cannot be used. The hunt is still on. Basically we will be exploring country adjacent to, but not exactly the same as last year's section. Heb Evans, Letter to section, 5/10/79 Outpost Site Heb had preceded us with one supercamper via car to Savant Lake, and they spent a week building the walls and frame for a big tent. That we used as a common area. We all slept in our trip tents at the site. Steve Bissell, 12/10/99 Section A's 1965 Fireplace Found On Muskiga we used Nishe's fireplace at the old Section A campsite. Heb was so excited when he found it. Steve Bissell, 12/10/99
