Day 8 of 10
Monday, October 05, 2015
I really enjoyed the area traveled on this day. Even though Gunflint Lake is large and motorized, it was a calm and quiet paddle across. This day included a fair amount of the water was outside the BW, so it feels like it sees fewer visitors. I experienced my only rain of the trip, a brief 20 minute rain shower. Other than that, it was completely dry for 10 consecutive days. That is pretty amazing. I also started practicing my border jumping here. During lunch breaks, I would try to jump from the U.S. to Canada on the small water flowage between lakes (insert Scott Walker joke here). I camped on the 2nd eastern most Rose Lake campsite.
