I finally left motorized waters as a paddled to Crooked Lake. As I was leaving my campsite in the morning, I observed a 3 foot sturgeon jump out of the water, my first time seeing that species. I saw my first other canoe group on this day as I was leaving Lac La Croix. I camped on an island between Friday and Thursday bays.
