Friday, September 09, 2016 In the morning we met the same group as yesterday. They tried to find a spot on Jasper with no luck so backtracked into Seagull! Wind was still at our backs in Seagull on our goal of finding one of our chosen spots proved fruitless. In fact all spots seemed to be taken! Finally an open site appeared on a island near 3 mile island. If was big but had a rough landing area.
The (3) 5 gallon food buckets were getting very low but not empty. Mashed taters with hamburger for lunch and spaghetti with hamburger and pepperoni sauce for dinner. In between we did some relaxing and cutting up some more firewood. Clouds brought in a quick but heavy rains and a great sunset.
No alcohol left, we hit the hay extra early. Deny found out there was a puddle in his tent and he spent the night under the big tarp. It had to be a long night for him.
