Day 6 of 7
Thursday, August 14, 2008 We will go almost all the way out today. We get up and have a big breakfast and take our time cleaning up the site.(LNT!!) Then we set out for the south end of the lake and the two portages into Sunday Lake. The portages go pretty well, but I’m not as young as I once was (turns out I tore a meniscus on the last portage). So I’m huffing and puffing pretty good by the time we enter Sunday. Once in the water, we make great time. We have to wait for our Camp Master in his single canoe. But we get into Sunday Bay by early afternoon. We set up camp on the island just north of the ranger station about ½ mile. Then we go out into the north shore and fish. WOW! Camp Master Pat was right! Everyone catches more fish, and more different types of fish, than we ever expected. We fish until after the sun is down and then cook in the dark. Not bad when you have so much fish to eat! Catching fish sure helps convince the boys that this canoe camping is pretty special! The perfect weather helped, too! Everyone sleeps soundly on full stomachs the last night out.
