Wednesday, July 18: I could have stayed at Gaskin another day, but we wanted to check out the lakes north of Winchell, going through Henson into Omega, figuring that if we went through Winchell, we would be going against a stronger wind, plus we knew the fishing wouldn't be that good. But first things first. Walleye filets for breakfast, it does a body good. If you saw the food we pack, breakfast is about the only time we can squeeze in a fish meal. Our suppers included chicken breasts the first night, steaks the next, then pork chops, Wednesday was brats, and pepperoni pizza on tortillas the last night. Not to mention fresh carrots, baked potatoes for two meals, plenty of noodle, potato, or rice pouch side dishes, and at least one dessert, muffin mix, or corn bread. Lunches were grab and eat on the run type of foods like salamis, cheese sticks, GORP, granola or snack bars, jerky or sausage sticks, peanut butter and jelly, and plenty of juice to wash it all down. Breakfast included streusel cakes made the night before, breakfast tortillas with EggBeaters, precooked bacon, Canadian bacon, individual boxed cereals, and pancakes. Extra stuff includes instant oatmeal, Tang, tea, coffee, soup packets, hot cider and cocoa. When we got back to Wausau, I realized I forgot to pack the waffles. But, we wouldn't have had room in the packs, and I don't know when we would have eaten them if they would have come along. Anyway, after breaking camp, we headed west across Gaskin, into Henson, and then into Omega. Fortunately, the wind was slight as we paddled into it. Once we got into Omega, we started looking for an open site big enough for our group, but they were all taken, or too small, so we did a quick lunch and continued south into Winchell. The nice site we stayed our first night was occupied, as were some other bigger ones we had seen earlier, but we eventually found one, a little small, but we made do as there were no other options within a mile and it was late in the day. Above you can see Greg in front and yours truly behin at our second site on Winchell. Below you see Josh in his element and Brian doing what we brought him along for, the dishes.
