CJ woke up in the middle of the night for a bathroom break, when he heard a slow thumping noise and he could see a bull moose in a clearing roughly 30 yards from our site. We woke up and had bacon and eggs for breakfast. Afterwards we started to explore and fish the lake. Got out just a little bit and decided to split up around the island. When we came around the corner of the island we could see a storm heading directly at us. There was no time to tell CJ and Jaron of the storm, so Jake and myself headed back to camp as fast as we could and made it just as the storm unloaded. CJ and Jaron found shelter on the island. Had ramen noodles for lunch, warmed everybody up from the cold rain.

Decided to try fishing in the afternoon, split up again meeting on the opposite side of the island. Jake caught a smallie and I caught a walleye and lost a northern and smallie at the canoe. CJ caught a smallie. We had chicken, corn, and Scalloped Potatoes for supper. Fire was hard to maintain due to the dampness of the wood.
