| The last day of the portage was no less strenuous. It took 7 hours to travel 5 km (3 miles) through the snow. Instead of ferrying gear, we decided to put it all in the canoe and pull it like a sledge. The snow was sticky and wet - it behaved more like velcro than ice. It took every ounce of effort from the each of us to move it forward.
