Thursday, August 6th, 2009 We got up early to eat a quick breakfast and to break camp for our paddle back to Agnes Lake. A half way point between us and our take out at Entry Point 16 as we encountered other groups (2) at the first portage. About 5 canoes in all with three canoes coming from our same outfitter that turned out to be a church group that put in and was taken out the say day as us. These folks had a dog and as the canoe was unloaded, it was fitted with a dog sized pack that it had no trouble carrying. We presumed it to be its own food. What a novel concept. After the second portage we came into Agnes. We spotted an open camp site there as we entered the lake but pursued other sites closer to where we wanted to fish. No Luck! We went all the way down the south side of the lake and found no open site. We then continued part of the way back the north side before coming to a stop on shore trying to decide, should we go up the north side further or continue on into Nina Moose Lake and hope for an opening there? Since this lake (Agnes) is better than two miles long, some (2) waited there while we went back up the north side and finally found an open site. Unloaded some gear and one long faced passenger (Jason) to hold our spot so we could let the rest of our crew know. This site was rather small but had a nice cooking area with two small tent sites. Agnes was really populated with people compared to LaCroix and Tiger Bay. Ed made chicken and dumplings for dinner. By far the best dehydrated dinner we had on the trip in my humble opinion. We went as far as to have desert as well. Apple Crisp I think it was. It was good too! Hats off to the chef for the whole trip since he did all of the cooking. One of the campers down the lake had a loon calling device that sounded more like a wolf than a loon. I did hear a real loon respond to it once. During the night I heard them go from one end of the lake to the other. Whatever! It got really cool again (upper 30’s) and I found myself up again in the middle of the night to put on my fleece. Ed and Joe got up at some point in the night and heard something walking towards our campsite. They never did see what it was but said there were sticks breaking underneath its feet as it approached. It left without incident although Ed had his pepper spray ready.
