Part 2 of 8
Day 1 - Tuesday, August 09, 2005
Moose Lake - Newfound Lake - Sucker Lake - Birch Lake - Melon Lake - Seed Lake - Knife Lake
My journal entry for this first day is as follows:
"Paddle paddle paddle portage portage portage make camp (Eric does the dishes!) go to sleep."
Ok, so that doesn't entirely cover the day, but we're both tired and we've both been through this portion of the Boundary Waters so many times that we're operating mostly on auto-pilot. We paddle late into the afternoon, set up camp on Knife Lake and enjoy a beautiful sunset. Later, a blood-red crescent moon sets between the trees to the accompianment of mournful loon calls.
