Cherokee-Skoop-Ada-Sawbill

We left Cherokee Lake around 10 am to head to Sawbill for the last night. The wind picked up once again. Our plan was to stay on the north side of Sawbill lake. The paddle down Cherokee creek is always one of my favorite paddles. We went in stealth mode hoping for one more chance to see a moose. No moose spotted this trip. We met 3 groups today heading north coming up for a long weekend. We scouted a couple sites on Sawbill and took a site on the east side protected by an island from a west wind. We went out fishing for a while and caught some small pike. We ended the night by solving all the worlds problems around a campfire.
