Day 3 of 5
Tuesday, August 02, 2011
Clearwater Lake, Camdre Lake, Pietro Lake, Gull Lake
A storm blew though in the middle of the night. Lightening and thunder woke most of us and we enjoyed the lightening show through the tent sides. However, a few actually slept through the storm.
After a grand breakfast of cheesy hash browns with bacon, the group decided to take a day trip around the rest of the loop of lakes back towards Bald Eagle Lake. We loaded into two canoes with the teens taking their own boat and the moms in the other. Everyone enjoyed the teamwork of taking turns paddling and portaging through the day. We discovered raspberries on the first portage to Camdre Lake. Yum! The girls decided they wanted some for pancakes the next day and got busy collecting on each of the portages.
At one point Amani commented that she "was not banged up enough from the trip" just as Leah whacked her on the shoulder to kill a horse fly.
On our return trip to camp, the wind had picked up and we battled the wind and waves to cross Pietro and Clearwater.
After a quick dip in the lake, we enjoyed a spicy dinner of chicken mango curry. When the mosquitoes came out we all piled into the big tent for a few games of Euchre before heading off to bed.
