Rain was in the forecast for the afternoon, so I made sure to get an early start. Hit the Boulder/Cap portage around 7 a.m., and it was every bit as bad as expected. After I finished I ate a clif bar to try to regain some of my energy.

Cap to Roe was equally interesting, and I hadn't heard anything about this one beforehand. About 8-9 minutes in I hit a large marsh/bog. The Fisher map had the portage going a lot further, but when I checked the Google satellite images, it looked like there was a creek that could lead out to Roe. For anyone that's interested, I marked this point in one of the pictures below with the corresponding GPS location given by my phone. I took the canoe out first without gear in it, and after about 10 minutes of lilly pads and muck I found the bay that opened up into Roe. I went back for the gear and then was on my way.

I made it to Sagus around noon, ate lunch at the end of the portage, then headed for the Southeast site (site #1910). The landing to this site is deceiving, and I almost paddled right past it. A short climb from the landing opens up to a beautiful site. The fire pit area is right on a cliff by the water and there's a tree there that must have been made to hang food packs. I set up camp quickly in anticipation of the rain but it didn't come until evening. I took a break and rehydrated, even though I'd already had over 6 liters of water that day.

Made dinner under a tarp while the rain came down. First real rain I'd had my whole trip, and it was kind of nice.

Route for day 10.
