    I think the book you speak of is about a lake in Mane. They both are in the north woods and accessible by canoe. The Cache Lake I went to does not get a lot of visitors because of the long portages in and out of it.

    Having the report helps keep the memories alive for many years. I some time reread several year old reports.

    Hey MagicPaddler....thnx for the reply. I just did a check on google and the book I mentioned did take place in Canada...
    Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several days—"it was so quiet I could hear the drops from the paddle hitting the water"—he came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams." He never left. He named the place Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the north had to offer—timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.
    Now I just need to find the book to read again or better yet, do like you did....that would be fun......
    best of luck
