Wednesday, June 27, 2012 I awake around 5:00 but don't get out of bed until 6:00. (still itching some) Finally the call of a strong cup of coffee lures me out of the sleeping bag and tent, fighting to keep mosquitoes out so Kim can continue to sleep! The coffee and grilled bagels this morning are exceptionally good! Take the grill, put a little squeeze Parkay on the bagel, toast it, put cream cheese and strawberry jam on it... ummm good! I wake Kim up at 8:00 and ask if she wants to go fishing and exploring with me and she says yes. She is up, has coffee and breakfast and is ready to go by 9:00. She brings her good camera for taking pictures, and lunch for us as well (beef jerky, gorp, granola bars, etc)

We start by heading to North Lake and looking for the huge beaver dam that used to separate North from LLC. We find it finally, 2 feet under water! I knew LLC was high, but not that high! That is why we could not find the picto's as we passed the bluffs near Beatty Portage! And why the Forest Service table on the other site was much closer to the water. LLC had to be at least 6-7 ft higher than when we were here two years before!

We fish and explore all of the bays of Snow Bay, taking pictures of Loons, Eagles, and fish we catch.

We stay out all day until evening! It was a great day! The sunset was beautiful that evening.

We get back to camp late, I prepare Stove top Stuffing with Foil pack chicken and gravy for dinner. We eat dinner, shower and head to the tent as the mosquitoes start swarming and their hum in the air in audible! It is a hot night, and I lay on my sleeping pad, sweating and itching (I now realize I have poison ivy for real) even though I have medicine on. It is 1:30 am before I am able to get into my sleeping bag and fitfully sleep until 4:30 when I have to get up! I can't take the itching any more!
