Day 5 of 10
Friday, October 02, 2015
A highlight of the day was observing the pictographs on Crooked Lake. It was calm and I studied the images in silence for quite some time, before continuing on. This was my first time laying eyes these pictographs. They seem to have a timeless sense of appeal to us, as we revel in the mystery and wonder about the makers. I was able to observe a family of otters on the Basswood River on this day. I continued around American Point and camped across from Norway Point.
