Friday June 19th Everything survives the night and it's a cool misty morning. We dont have far to go today to get back to Tuscarora at Round lake so we take time for pancakes and bacon while the tents and tarp dry. We then paddle around and investigate Snipe and fish a little. Snipe is an interesting little lake with some cool rock formations. As we head for the portage to Missing Link, the clouds clear and it gets hot and muggy. This is a nasty little portage complete with a little gorge that you have to hop down into and toss your canoe up the other side. We try trolling for some brookies on Missing Link to no avail and have lunch at the site by the portage to Round. We then do our last portage of the trip and encounter a group of men and young boys that keep asking us "how much further?" A nice south breeze carries us across Round to the landing at Tusc. It's about 1:30 so we take our time packing gear away, showering and grabbing a cold beverage before our bunk opens. The boys play a few games of "horse" at the bball hoop so I go in and have a nice chat with Andy. We talk about the trip and future trips and he says fishing is still slow. He showed me some interesting old maps that had the motor routes on them, thus explaining the old log piers we found. After getting some gear loaded up, LCD gives us a tour of the trails end area including the dock where her towboats are kept. Then we drive down to TC for a great supper (I love that place)Met gbusk and his wife there and had a nice chat. Back at Tusc, we hit the store for some t-shirts and I sit and chat with Andy and Sue again and pay my bill so I can get an early morning start home. They are a neat couple and great people. I feel good knowing my daughter is in good hands there for the summer, working hard and enjoying herself.
