Day 4 of 10
Friday, June 30, 2006 Breakfast Blueberry pancakes & bacon. The granulated syrup s@$#s. Apple sauce is rejected. Ben's foot looks better, continue to treat w/ bacrim & bactroban. Loaded up & said good by to the mosquito infested latrine. 3 miles to 140 r portage. The only one of the day. The weather has been great for 3 days. It can't last. We fight the current to the beginning of Curtain falls. We make it. We find out later group B dumped there. We enter Crooked Lake. We fight a medium south east wind to the campsite outside of Saturday bay. Sandy beach, less rocks. Dan found a big rock face we scramble up to. It has a slight breeze and is warmed by the sun. Nice heating pad. G & J paddle out to some rocks the outfitter circled as a place to fish. There is a nesting loon on the rocks & it & it's mate chase J back into the boat before G can get out. J jumps back in the moving boat to get away G calls him a name. The loons keep attacking so they come back to camp.
Dinner Freeze dried Mexican rice w/ beef, Mexican corn. Chocolate pudding Not a big hit. G asks for something for diarrhea after dinner. I give him Immodium& Pepto tablets.
