From Sagus we moved on north through Kekekabic up to the South Arm of Knife Lake. The weather was improving and the light showers we had been experiencing the first two days we getting less frequent. We encountered a young couple from Seattle on their very first BWCAW adventure. That brought back memories of my first trip, over 30 years ago, and of my first trip with my older brother, over 20 years ago. We wished them many more and moved on down to the east end of SA Knife Lake for our camp for the evening. We found a lovely spot that had an abundance of firewood, and appeared to receive almost no use. The last passing shower of the day produced another full rainbow. After that the sky cleared and we enjoyed a great display of the stars to go with our evening campfire.
