Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - We woke to a nice, dry but windy day. We decided to do something we had not done before - stay for a 4th night at the same site. Our reasoning - we had yet to see another person, our site was awesome and we could day trip to other locations without moving camp. So we set off to explore Cummings, with a packed lunch and keen eyes for new sights. The portage to Little Crab was quite easy, with a gentle sandy landing area. From a distance, we could see a tent on the one site on Little Crab but no sign of people or a canoe. We paddled to the outlet to Korb River and thoroughly enjoyed the gentle ride. There was little wind and the lily pads and views were terrific. We were surprised that we did not encounter any moose but there was of evidence of animal activity (likely beaver and muskrat?)at various sections of the shore. Eventually we came to a good size beaver dam, unloaded and carried around it. When we reached Korb Lake, we saw that the single campsite was occupied and saw a single person in a canoe, fishing by the shore of the camp. This was the first person we had seen in 3 days, although we did not make direct contact. Once on Korb, we were again exposed to wind so decided to return to Crab rather than taking the portage to Cummings. We retraced our route, took numerous pictures and stopped at a site on Crab for a late but enjoyable lunch. As we trolled back to our site, we saw an eagle soar but no other paddlers; the wind was at our back as we headed to camp.

Back at camp, around 4:30, we took turns taking a sun shower. Then I sat, fairly clean, with a cigar in one hand and a rum and mango tea in the other. All days should close so nicely. As we called it a day, we noted a full moon and a chill in the air.
