It’s warm and calm this morning. I share my pancakes and bacon with Luna by mixing some with her food. She gets spoiled on these trips and I give her some of our food at every meal. She’s a great dishwasher too!

Breakfast was usually by my tent and dinners under Stew's set up. pics courtesy Stew

Today Stew and Ben are day tripping through Fraser Lake and portaging into small Shepo Lake in search of walleyes. I’ll be doing laundry, sitting at the beach and throwing the ball for awhile. I then go for a swim and dry off in the sun on our rock porch. I do some exploring in the woods around our site and find a massive old growth white pine among the cedars. This tree is impressive and who knows, maybe a couple 2 or 3 hundred years old.

I decide I won’t go out fishing so I read for a while then take a relaxing nap in the hammock as the breeze blows in the treetops. This is one of my favorite kind of days in canoe country. No electronics, nowhere to be, just time to chill.

The guys came in with 3 small walleye. They ate the fish while I made a shepherds pie of sort with mashed potatoes, dehydrated elk and veggies. Stew brought a tub of real butter so I added that as well. Fantastic!
