Day 4 of 14
Sunday, May 10th, 2015 
Malberg is a really nice lake, the campsite on the island to your right is a cool campsite, very nice overlook of the lake, I got through Malberg to another 8rd portage to River lake,
the portages seam to get more challenging as I went on, then I Stopped on Fishdance to check out the pictographs, 1st one's I've seen, 
then a 95rd and 10rd portage to Alice. 
When I arrived on Alice there was a pretty good breeze, but once I got on the east side of the lake it was a lot calmer, there are alot of big sandy beach sites on this side of the lake,
It turn out to be a beautiful day, I ended up at the last campsite before Thomas on Alice, I arrived about 3:30, setup camp and finally broke out the fishing pole for the 1st time, I casted out a blue and silver daredevil about 10 times and caught a nice Northern, I put the pole down had supper, cleaned everything up and got ready for the next day, fish a little more and to bed I went.
Up again at 5:00, I got everything packed up and on the water around 5:30, I just love getting up early and paddling, I'll have breakfast snacks while I travel and I don't drink coffee so no need for a fire. I headed to the 24rd portage to get to Malberg.
