I did a SF->TO trip some years ago (no portaging or backpacking because I'm disabled) and made myself campsites on the far sides of lakes and rivers, the only person in many places. It was near perfect. Your trip looks so too.

I finished a sweater, took 4 months. Liv Sweater by Moreca in 2/28nm x4 cashmere-silk to get DK weight for a worsted weight pattern. Very happy with the progress I've made on my tubular bind offs, or maybe the yarn is forgiving.
