Wednesday, September 30, 2015

On this day overall tiredness and muscle fatigue really seemed to set in. The day still consisted of continued motorized waters as I traveled to the middle of Lac La Croix. The day was generally calm, but transitioned to the first day of an east wind. The Loon River was beautiful and provided a great chance to observe beavers early in the morning. I camped on the SE campsite of 27 Island.
