Day 5 of 6
Friday, July 17, 2009 - Temp HIgh 61 Low 49 Up early after a rainy night. Hard to believe this is July - it is staying cold. Decided to stay put, fish a bit and hope for sun. Decision point - do the Kiskadinna portage and loop back to Poplar or go out through Cross Bay? We'll do the Cross Bay route. No luck fishing, stayed close to camp due to the wind. Only saw a group of young men looking for a campsite in the late afternoon.
