Day 5 of 14

wish the weather would of been a little nicer when I started paddling Thomas, It was a lite rain with N.E. winds, so I stayed on the east side heading north to Fraser, the narrow between Thomas and Fraser was fun to explore. 
Traveling across Fraser it Was dark and gloomy and a little rainy, I could tell the temps were dropping, on to the next 15rd portage to Gerund, another 30rd portage to Ahmakose, a 90rd portage to Wisini and a 10rd to Strup where I spent my 4th night, campsite closest to the Kekekabic portage.
I made it to camp around 3:30, setup camp in a lite drizzle, then went and found a little firewood to have a coffee can fire for the night, in the drizzle standing under some thicker pines, it was nice having a fire after paddling in the crappy weather all day, fixed supper and cleaned everything up, then off to the tent to put some dry cloths on and go to bed.
Up early again, its a little drizzly, tore camp down and back on the water around 5:45 and onto the 1st portaged, a 10rd to Cacabic lake and onto the next portage, a 232rd portage to Thomas,
