Today we decided to try to paddle to the pictographs on Fishdance, but got a really late start and had sustained winds from the northeast ( Wind & Waves on Insula ). We paddled through Lake Carol and Hum Lake (clearly not the most traveled route) to Alice that was a white capped mess. [paragraph break] [paragraph break] The first portage from Insula into Fishdance was really beautiful. It was very green and like entering a tropical forest. If you’re day tripping it’s worth doing, but if you’re loaded down I would recommend just taking the Kawishiwi River which is also a very nice paddle.
We ate a late lunch at the campsite nearest the entrance to the Kawishiwi where we found a nice blueberry patch on the path to the latrine. While they were really small, we picked a cupful for our pancakes tomorrow. We decided that it was way to late to try making it to the pictographs and didn’t want to deal with all the waves beating the south shore of Alice, so we headed back via the Kawishiwi River.

Overall we paddled 9 miles and covered 144 rods in four portages. [paragraph break] [paragraph break] Mom and Dad were fairly pooped again, but we had a beautiful sunset that evening. [paragraph break]
