Sawbill to Sawbill, Rain, Snow, Sun and Fun

I was up a little earlier this morning, it was still a little dark, I packed everything up, it was below freezing because all the tent poles were frozen, so I had to blow on all the fittings to get them apart and the tent was frosted, I rolled it up frozen and put it away, and on the water a little after 5:00 and off to the 1st 85rd portage to Kekekabic.
The sky had cleared over night and it was a beautiful morning, I was planning to go up to the south arm of Knife, but it was like glass on Kekekabic so I change my route and cut across Kekekabic to the east, what a clear lake water might be the clearest I've ever seen, I'm going to go back and camp on Kekekabic soon and spend more time exploring and fishing it.
I made it to the 1st 5rd portage to the Kekekabic ponds then a 15rd, 20rd, 10rd and 15rd portage to Eddy lake.
Through Eddy to another 15rd portage, to Jenny, a 15rd portage to Annie, them a 15rd portage to Ogishkemuncie, when I was just about out of Ogish, I heard a rapids so I paddled a little out of my way to go see it, then onto the 60rd portage to Mueller then a 115rd to Agamok, on this portage the Kekekabic trail crosses it, when heading east, take the trail to the left and walk about a 1/4 mile and you will see this some waterfalls.
I finished the portage then paddle to the last campsite before Gabimichigami on Agamok, I arrived around 4:00 setup camp and started drying stuff out, when I unrolled the tent it was still frosted from the morning, I had to chuckle, every time after that when I thought about that I smiled and would almost start laughing, I had a nice fire at Agamok, supper was filling, finished chores and to bed early.(what a awesome day)
