Algonquin Provincial Park paddle trip

I finally got to Algonquin Park in Ontario, and had a great 7-day loop trip. It started at the Magnetawan access point, went up to the Tim River, down it to Shippagew Lake, Big Trout Lake, & White Trout Lake/Grassy Bay, over to McIntosh Lake, then to Misty Lake, Little Misty Lake, part of the Petawawa River, and back through Daisy Lake to Magnetawan. It's a wonderful area. The middle section from Grassy Bay to McIntosh and Misty had more traffic & people, but it's all so big that there's plenty of room. Loons everywhere, including in a large group on Misty (I've never seen a "flock" of loons before; usually just see them in ones or twos). Only one moose sighting, but it was spectacular: a large bull grazing on water plants in a narrow bit of the Tim River. Held me up for almost 45 minutes, but it was worth it. 20 carries, 15 lakes, and three stretches of river. Here are some photos:
