Monday, August 13, 2007 Traveling day Getting up fairly early we pack it up and head out, with no destination in mind take the short portage to Upper Prauness again, and head over to the portage to Shell Lake. This portage is a fairly easy 220 or so rods. We stroll happily across until the end, where we see a pre-courser of things to come in a few days.......Mud and a bunch of it!!! we load up in the mud while another group (seems to be 3 teenage girls and a guide) wait patiently for us to get out of the way. We head over to little shell lake, where I am hopeful, as there is only one campsite (my favorite kind of site) and as luck would have it, it turns out to be a very nice and large site. We are home!! and we settle in for a stay.
