Morning was welcome and we hoped for clearing skies and sun and no wind ....INSTEAD....wind and
rain welcomed us....Good thing wa had our tarp up, as it blocked the wind and rain and provided us
with a place to sit and cook via the Whisperlite...Whipped up the eggs and last of the cheese for a great
breakfast burrito... AND

Settled in to a day of shore-sitting and watching the waves and the mist which moved across the lake
all day long....

About 12:30-1:00 P.M. we watched a group of four canoes struggle against the waves to make it to the
saftey of a campsite down the way...and we all agreed that the waves and wind were increasing...

Our last supper ( we Hoped) was excellent... Spagetti and a sauce w/morels which I had dehydrated at
home, and peaches and cream pie. Oh yeah, and hot chocolate to ward of the chilling winds...

After sitting in the wind all day we decided to retreat to the warmth that our Timberline 4 provided and
zipped in at about 7:15 P.M.

About 8:15 we noticed a different sound....the wind had switched.... hopefully that was a good sign...
of maybe a break in this front that had been with us for two days.. We crawled out of the warm dry tent
to rain and lowered the tarp, which had become a sail instead of a shelter and wrapped it over our
packs in an effort to keep things dry.
