Wednesday, September 07, 2016 This was a lazy day for us so we did some yoga?
daydreaming
and strategizing
Needing some more firewood everyone paddled to a distant shoreline and we filled both canoes with dead birch. We had enough to leave some for the next visitors. I had a special moment in paying tribute to my brother-in-law, fishing partner, and great friend, Terry. He would have loved the BWCA but never really camped before. I told his family I was taking him along this year so I did. RIP Terry.
Sitting around camp we were honored by the presence of a ruffled grouse and hare, both which had no fear of humans. Brian did his world famous calzones for supper then we tried our luck again fishing. Only smaller smallies and a couple pike were caught and released.
