Once we saw it during the light of day, we really didn't like this campsite. The tent spots were very cramped. There were no trees to hang tarps. The walk to the potty was very rough. The potty was gross (a key feature when tripping with 5 girls). So we had to move again...

We packed up and started looking around Ogish. We looked at the far west site. We actually stayed there many years ago. We didn't like it enough to do it again. We wound up looking at site 784 directly south of the island site. It looked great. So we moved to it. It had spots for 4 tents and nice spots for rain tarps. It also had lots of trees for hammocks.

I got the basics of camp set up by about noon. Then, I had to go find person #9. I took daughter #1 and boyfriend #3 in my SR 18.5. Fiancee #1 was getting a tow to Red Rock lake. He was going to paddle down to Alpine and then meet us at the Alpine/Jasper portage. After paddling for 12 hours yesterday, we were all pretty sore. But we made it Alpine/Jasper portage about 2:30. As soon as we arrived, the fiancee of daughter #1 came around the corner. It worked out perfectly!

We fished leeches with the TGO method in the rapids on Alpine. We caught two nice 18-19" smallies. They fought great.

It started to rain again... So we packed up and started to head home. We got back to camp about 4pm.

It really started to rain again. (or still...)

Person #9 brought steaks. So I rigged a tarp next to the fire. I have never done that. It was fun to cook over a campfire with a pretty steady rain. Also, the heat from the fire felt great.

The boys then took over the fire/cook spot and fried some fish. They were very good.
