Up with the birds and waited around until the kitchen opened, then stuffed ourselves with coffee, fruit, sausages, and french toast.

By 715 we were on our way to the Round Lake parking lot and on the water. There was one short detour for Jesse to get out of the car and herd a suicidal grouse off the road. I love the way we've become a smoothly oiled canoe machine! We both know what has to be done and who is gonna do it.

We saw a couple groups headed out, and one camped on Brandt, and we admired the new stars between Gotter and Flying. Found a fishhook on one of the portages, but this would end up being almost the only piece of trash all trip.

Got to Bat early, probably around noon. The first site on Bat was open, lots of cedar trees and a nice flat tent site so we grabbed it. Got pretty windy in the afternoon, lots of thunderheads floating by but no rain. Jesse spent some time frog watching, then went out to gather wood. There's a really nice rock under the trees- like a front porch. Only real downside to the camp is that the latrine is clearly visible from the kitchen.
