Slept in this morning, and then made a delicious breakfast of Cache Lake biscuits and gravy. (first time making it-- YUM!)

I went for a quick swim this morning and the water was cold!! It was a beautiful sunny day and perfect for just relaxing.

Surprisingly, it was pretty buggy at this site. Last year at the same time there weren't any bugs. Lots of mosquitoes and bees.

Spent the rest of the day hanging out. I read a great book titled "Merle's Door." While reading this afternoon, we noticed a red canoe appear on the lake around 3:30pm. They took the northeast site, and spent the rest of the day fishing.

For dinner we made Alessi white bean soup with a package of foil wrapped chicken, and Cache Lake garlic frying pan bread.
