Day 7 of 8
Friday, June 04, 2010 - Started raining in the middle of the night. One of the support rods on the tent snapped (had noticed at last campsite the rods were splitting so wrapped them with duct tape, unfortunately it didn’t matter. Woke up later to the tarp flapping in the wind, seems one of my twine lines broke (twine don’t quite cut it). Repositioned the tarp shortly after breakfast. Jake awoke, ate and went back to sleep. Watched as five groups of paddlers would make their venture for the exit today, including our friends from Indiana. Up to this point I really hadn’t hit the whiskey flask but maybe once a day. Well I made up for lost time in the rain today. Shortly after lunchtime Jake came out of the tent and we made ramen noodles, hot coco, augratin potatoes. Rain finally quit around 4 and then the sun came out. We went back to the mile portage and picked up the paddle we had left the day before. Made our way over to Moosecamp Lake and then back tracked to camp taking the time to troll the southwest side of Gun, with no luck. Once back at camp, started packing all items for tomorrow’s departure. Was able to get a campfire rolling for a little while, played cards and went to bed. Bullet Lake, Moosecamp Lake
