Day 5 of 6
Sunday June 3, 2012  Today, French toast for Breakfast and Lunch meat and cheese and Mac and cheese for dinner. We got up, had breakfast and headed out to travel down Moose Camp River and head for Fourtown. Moose camp river was beautiful! We had great timing on taking that rout with all the rain they had up there. We had to cross over 3 beaver dams and that was it. Pretty easy and what a view. We hit Fourtown and stopped at the north east camp site for a quick snack as Moose Camp River was pretty long travel. No sooner did we hit the camp site, the wind picked up pretty good, maybe 10-15mph. As we all know, here comes the white caps. So we sat it out for about 45 min and the wind died down. We headed south and ended up on 5th camp site from the north heading south. It had a nice fire pit out on its on little penisula. tent pads were not great but they fit and we all had sleeping pads, so the rocks were not to bad. It was also home to a White tail Doe. She didn't seem bothered at all that we were there. She walked right through our camp sight 2x. She had not a care in the world that we were there.
