Monday June 15th On the water by 8:15. We pull through some beaver dams from Long Island to Muskeg Creek. Very tranquil paddle on the creek and into Muskeg. The 190 from there to Kiskadinna is a nasty little hike. Not bad at start but has a wall near the end. Rehydrate and take off on Kisk at about 10:30.From Kisk it's the up and over portage to Omega and then down to Winchell and a lunch break. It's a little windy crossing Winchell, but not too bad to take in the sites of that beautiful lake. The south bank cliffs in Winchell look lush and green and BIG!. We run into 2 guys on the Cliff/North Cone portage and quickly pass them as we cross North Cone and float through the rapids to arrive at Middle Cone at about 3:00. The 2 boys stay there at the only campsite while Jordan and I float the next rapids into South Cone. That site is full and a bunch of people have paddled in from Brule to fish in there. We go back to Mid Cone to set up camp. It's not a great site but the east wind is blowing in and making it tolerable. This site is on an old logging road. It would be a little nicer if there were less cedars along the bank. I hope it's not a moose highway because the tent is in the middle of the old road. The bugs get pretty bad so we hang the bug net under the tarp and save the day. The rest of the afternoon is spent fishing the west bank and then it’s time for supper, and a session under the bug net while enjoying the fire.
