Day 4 of 8
Sunday, May 25, 2008 - Woke up late due to the staying up til midnight and stormy weather. I slept on shoulder wrong, would hurt the entire day. Went fishing after breakfast in back bay and then out to the island north of us. Jake caught a whitefish or cisco, not really sure what it was but it was good size. As we proceded to the island we went around and around and I caught another nice Laker. Had to stay close to camp due to the Tornado warning in affect til 9 PM. Had hotdogs and cheddar broccoli rice for lunch. Shore fished. Then decided to jump in the lake for a rinse and go on top for a shower. Shower felt good, lake was very cold. Continued shore fishing and just laying on the rocks. Kept going to lookout to see incoming weather. Had our fist dry food dinner - lasagna, corn and Chocolate Moose Pie. I liked it all, Manny and Jake didn’t care for the lasagna. Sat around campfire and went to bed by 10:30. Exhausted.
