The Big Solo Loop – From Hog Creek to Kawishiwi Lake the Long Way
by Jaywalker
Amber Lake; no travel day
Slept in until 6:30. Got up, fed Rainy, and had long and lazy couple cups of coffee. Waited until about 9:00 to make pancakes for breakfast. Drank more coffee. Paddled to the other end of the lake to look around and check out the other campsite. Went back to camp and read for a while, then played with Rainy more then had a snack. Paddled out to the Kawishiwi River again to explore the path to Malberg for the next day. I had realized that as I switched from my Fisher to my McKenzie maps there was about a mile gap! No worries, I think I can figure it out tomorrow. Back to camp for the last of the sausage, cheddar and bourbon, and a nice tortellini dinner followed by some hammock time (thankfully no bugs). Organized all my food and gear for the next day to make for an easy exit. I was so grateful that after a long trip, that one site I had hoped for was open and I had such wonderful weather to enjoy it.
