The morning was wet and gloomy.

My tarps did great. There’s pools of water all over the site and little rivers flowing into the lake. It’s drizzling but I cook breakfast under the tarp. I make a huge scrambled egg dish with powdered eggs, dehydrated peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese. Luna gets a bunch mixed with her food. 2 cups of strong coffee and we are satisfied.

Today is spent in camp. I need to fix my portage yoke. It won’t attach to one side of the boat causing it to slide around when carrying the canoe. This happened on Day one so I asked Stew for advice. Turns out it was great advice! Like Lawrence, he is part MaCgyver. Very handy in other words. In short I cut a six inch, one inch diameter piece of pine in half and taped the two pieces to the gunnel so they would wedge the yoke in place. I then used cord and tied one end of the yoke to the other going under the canoe with the cord. Worked perfectly the next day.

My complete set of dishes except for a pair of bacon tongs not shown. The green handle is a telescoping lexan spoon I use for stirring in the pot. I usually air dry on a rock after washing. Apparently these got rained on.
