Day 3 of 5
Tuesday, June 07, 2022 Today was forecasted to be the best day of the week and we had a longer day trip planned. To our luck, we ended up with another day of sun and 75 degrees with low winds. After waking to the fog rising off the lake and consuming and simpler breakfast we were headed northeast. Today's day drip would include passing through Disappointment, Ahsub, Jitterbug, Adventure, Cattyman, Gibson, and Jordan Lake. In total we portaged 12 times and paddled roughly 12 miles. We made this trip to see Cattyman Falls which were raging thanks to the high waters and aforementioned late ice out. Heading east from here, a paddle through the Jordan Narrows and a peak at Ima Lake completed our stops for the day. By the time we made it back to our campsite on Disappointment Lake that evening we were pretty wiped out. All were in agreement seeing Cattyman Falls and the Jordan Narrows were worth the trip. Of course, there was a small amount of daylight left to catch the evening bite and another phenomenal sunset.
