08 Sep Killarney Outfitters Paddle – Found and Claimed!
The Killarney Outfitters paddle has officially been found and claimed (on the portage to Partridge Lake in Killarney PP) by Brian Snell and family! Congrats and a big paddles up to Brian, his son Oliver, and their “intrepid canoeist”, Daisy! We know that many of you were stumped by the location of this hidden paddle as it was on a dead-end route to Sandy Lake (a route that also happens to be the long way to get there). The paddle was hidden on the short 25 m portage to Partridge. Brian messaged us August 23rd to let us know he had found the KO paddle hidden by Preston. Unfortunately though, we had some problems with our internet and are just getting to posting this now.
