Woke up to morning fog. Broke camp while eating breakfast and on the lake early. No one else on lake four. Went to the north side of the island and had to do a short portage into lake 3. Saw a handful of sites occupied as we entered the heavily populated lake 2. Gabe missed a rock on the approach to the portage and submerged his boots in the water. Portages were busy with people leaving and entering. Got pseudo lost coming across lake one and made it to kawishiwi lodge by noon. Packed up and headed home by 10.

Trip notes – Amazing how the forest can regenerate in a year. First time I’ve been hear where it went from cold to holt to cold in minutes.
