Poplar Lake, Lizz Lake, Caribou Lake, Horseshoe Lake

Put in at poplar after driving straight through the night. I splashed some cool lake water in my face as we leave from the public landing on the north west tip of a skinny bay. The first portage is always great; It's a reminder that I can still lift a canoe and carry it around like that is normal. Had a great day. The ground is still wet from the storm that poured all the way up the north shore of superior. We meet some rangers that inform us the seagull fire is still going strong. Spent the night on horseshoe at a nice campsite and caught a small mouth bass on a leech.
