Day 7 of 10
Sunday, October 04, 2015
The day was highlighted by waking early at 5:15am to a chorus of howling wolves from across the lake. This day provided my largest single day distance traveled. This due to the ideal paddling conditions provided. This allowed me to take the big open water crossings on Saganaga with a direct line as I traveled west. The Granite River system was very low as to be expected this time of year, but only caused two extra short portages.
Lakes Traveled: Knife, Ottertrack, Swamp, Saganaga, Maraboeuf, Gniess, Granite River, Clove Lake
Observed Weather: Mostly Cloudy, Winds light and variable, High 60, Low 34
Number of Portages: 11
Length of Portages: 1.2 miles, 384 rods
Total Day Mileage: 32.5 miles
