This day, the collective spirit of the camp was lazy and for good reason: we had pushed ourselves on two long days and now it was very HOT again! I could tell that not one of us wanted to get out on that lake. So we swam, jumped some rocks with Alex's Go Pro and relaxed pretty much all day. We played cards under my Nemo Bug Out (new to me this year, purchased on this site, it was a hit among all the trippers when the bugs came out).

Later in the day we did fish a little that evening and picked up the last of the fish we needed for our last evening dinner. After dinner we fished a bit but again the heat and long days had left us with a little less energy than usual and we hit the hay without some of the typical last evening jocularity.
