Family loop: Round Lake to Seagull Lake
by Mad_Angler
Today was a travel day. We wanted to get to Seagull. Then Sunday would be a "no-portage" day.
We broke camp and started heading. It was pretty uneventful. We stopped for lunch at the Alpine/Jasper portage. We tried fishing slip bobbers and that was a disaster. We all lost our jigs on the first or second cast...
We made it to Seagull about 2pm. We found that nearly all the sites were taken. It was the Saturday before July 4. We were getting concerned.
We finally saw site 466 on the NW corner. It looked marginal from the lake but were gettting desparate. We checked it out and were very pleasantly surprized. It was a great site. It opened to large clearing that was big enough for 2 or 3 tents. There was another smaller area that was good for a tent. There were also nice trees near the fire ring. That was important because it was starting to rain... again... So we relaxed under a tarp and had a nice feast. The feast started with jambalia with summer sausage. That a great start. Then, we started eating everything else that was left in the food pack (noodles, mac and cheese, etc).
We had a nice cigar and enjoyed our last night.~Ogishkemuncie Lake, Kingfisher Lake, Jasper Lake, Alpine Lake, Sea Gull Lake
