Sunday, May 26, 2024 We were served a wonderful breakfast at Tuscarora lodge at 7am. French Toast, fruit, coffee etc. I am really impressed with Tusc Lodge. The staff was great and the process of renting canoes etc was seamless. We paddled through Missing Link and into Snipe Lake. Those two portages were not easy, The portage into Cross Bay was much more tolerable. The plan we had made in the bunkhouse the night before was for one canoe to go check the north site on Cross Bay and another canoe go check the south site and radio to each other status updates. Since I was in the 3-man, we were slower than the rest of the group. By the time we were paddling on Cross Bay, none of our group was in sight. We made a decision to head south and to our delight, our boys were already setting up camp at the south site, despite the guy at the outfitter all but guaranteeing it would be taken. It is a great campsite. We had room for 9 guys and a good canoe landing. Plus the fishing that first night was great. We caught walleyes within view of our campsite.
