Wednesday, August 15, 2007 Traveling day aka lots o portaging Up and at em again early, after a quick breakfast, we head out, destination Oyster Lake and a 5 star campsite Matthew and I had stayed at 8 years ago From Little Shell, to to lynx lake, to some little pond to Hustler lake, to Oyster lake, there was some 600 rods, and since we double portaged i guess it was 1800 rods total, not a death march but not too simple either or fun. we arrive at Oyster to head to our 5 star site and..............taken damn we cruise around oyster for another site and find one with the #1 worst landing I have ever seen. Flat canoe landing then a 5 foot "hand up" to get your gear to the campsite, but otherwise a very nice site......tomorrow would tell us why. a bit tired form the day portaging, we kick back and relax. Henry takes his normal after noon nap. That evening, Nathan and I decide there is too much tree cover to see stars, so we paddle out into the lake to star gaze for a while. What a reward!!!! Glass lake and no clouds, we could have slept there!!
