Wednesday July 22nd-
Up early and calm winds to take advantage of, considering the big water we have to cross. Found beaver dam to lift over and did a portage from hell between Pandos lake and Chippewa Lake. VERY steep and slippery after rain. Many mud holes. Then the mile portage after Wagosh Lake to Gun Lake. Never saw another soul in a canoe or campsite the entire day! Thursday bay-Friday Bay-Pandos Lake-Chippewa Lake-Wagosh lake-Gun Lake. 11 miles by water.

Lots going on around me but no one will look at me.
Oh! Here he comes. Yes! Some action. Out the door and wait, is that a car? I thought I was getting on the water. Great now I'm strapped to the tie downs on the canoe. I hope I don't ride like this. 
Geez now I'm in the trunk and can't see anything.
Judging by the number of stops this trip leader must have forgot a lot of things.
Daylight! Packs and a canoe! This is it!
Why am I being strapped to the seat? Is this joker gonna sit on me, oh great I'm now a seat cousin. After a few hours of being sat on we made it to Nina Moose Lake. I think the paddler had beans for dinner.
Its nice to be able to stretch my straps. 
I sleep under the canoe. Its raining off and on. Looks like they are packing up. Another lake maybe?
This time I get strapped to the thwart. much more comfortable way to ride.
After getting rained on I'm happy to be back where we started. I hope the next trip I take is longer!
