Monday, August 04, 2025 Warmer last night....it's the first night this trip that I didn't want my hat by morning. We had breakfast and packed up, and headed down the Moosecamp River. It's a very pretty little river, full of lily pads and lined with tall white pines and steep cliffs. Very twisty too. We had 10 beaver dams to pull over and one big log jam that we had to unload to get over. Sky was starting to drip by the time we hit Fourtown. There are people on this lake, and it feels weird after the isolation of Moosecamp.

Took a site on the east shore, across a bay from another campsite, close to the entrance to the Moosecamp river. We set up our kitchen and rain shelter on the hill, back in the pines where you can't see the other campsite.....but the fire grate and tent pad look directly at them. This is a beautiful but heavily used site, and the last folks left a bunch of trash behind. So far we've found 2 wet bags of TP, a can of bug spray, a pair of men's underwear (what IS it with abandoned underwear!), fishing line, a a bright blue fake fingernail. They also did lots of whittling, which is less of an issue in my book.

Down the shore is a giant cedar tree, might take 3 people to reach around it. Paths heading south lead to a rocky peninsula. This is another open site full of tall pines. The fire grate has been deformed with mill scale and is in pretty bad shape.

We had dinner and a nice fire, watched the sunset, then off to bed. Our neighbors are nice and quiet...yay!
