Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - Temp Hi 66 Low 58 woke up about 6am to a foggy, gray day. Tent held up well despite everything. Although we did have to tighten stakes during the wind storm. Surveyed the damage - downed were one birch branch, a large part of a white pine (the talking tree) and 3 other pines. Decided to stay put and try to get things dried out. We thought the sun might come out, but other than a peak now and then, it was gray and misty. The wind was our friend though because we got everything dried out. Stayed pretty close to the fire. Saw a couple of canoes go by that were fishing. Plans were to leave for Long Island Lake in the morning. Steaks for dinner. We brought dehydrated portabellas and onions and fried them up. It was fantastic with the steaks! Quote of the day(s) - Life is a blessing - (the previous night had been pretty frightening)
