Fishing on South Lake was not in the cards for us. We woke up after all of the rain to heavy winds howling through the trees. As we were deciding whether to move or not, after breakfast, the winds seemed to have calmed a little bit. We decided to make a run for it and get all the way to Gunflint so we would be positioned for an easier out tomorrow.

South Lake was headwinds and whitecaps the entire length of the lake. We all dug in and did a great job! It felt good to get through the lake, and there was not much need for quartering or zig-zagging.

As we exited the BWCA in North Lake my wife found some fresh and delicious lobster mushrooms to have with our dinner. We had a nice lunch on at a campsite on a point on North before heading into Little North, Little Gunflint and finally Gunflint where the first island campsite was open and waiting for us! This campsite is great!
