Here we go!
This chubby snapper turtle was about two feet ACROSS the shell! Nose to tail…not sure? He was HUGE! I have only seen one snapper turtle that was bigger. That was on Good Lake in the BW.
I was surprised how close we got before he headed into the water.
What a boat full!
B3 caught a baby!
When we got back to camp I made dinner and the girls…
…fished
…tried to walk on the rocks out to the island
…found a friend
…and watched him eat leaves off a twig for what seemed to be hours.
…and then gave a clump of moss a face.
Before we went to bed B3 went to the latrine and she saw a raccoon! They aren’t supposed to be in the BW!
Long Island Lake, Karl Lake,
We all slept in. We planned to stay at this site another day. We wanted to paddle and explore Long Island Lake and Karl Lake. After breakfast we all got in one canoe to paddle around, fish and see the sights. We only saw one open campsite on Long Island and Karl looked to be full also!
