Layover day! Slept until 7 which is late for us. Again we wake up to overcast with a wind coming from the East/Southeast. Time to cook up a fantastic pancake and bacon breakfast which is so much better than the oatmeal or nutrition bar breakfast.

Rain is on and off as we plan to travel up Cherokee Creek and bushwhack into Cede and possibly Tent Lake. We battled the wind into the creek only to have the rain pick up and become steady. Out comes the rain gear. Somewhere about halfway down the creek there is a cool beaver dam. The right hand side was muddy and slick and we dragged the canoes quickly over and were on our way. Our crew made it through to Cede Lake before returning. The rest of the afternoon was spent resting, reading and being lazy. That evening during supper and beyond there was thunder to the S and W of us. A steady rain fell for a while which meant we packed wet tents again the next day.
