Saturday, August 15, 2009 Wet Morning after the Early morning rain. Breakfast was Blueberry Pancakes, Bacon, Coffee, and Hot Chocolate. Packed up, (tents wet) and loaded canoes...LONG DAY ahead...Off to Burnt Lake. Left S Temperance about 9:00 am South Wind first thing in the am 20 mph or better. 240 rod right out of the shoot!!! Over to Weird Lake around a couple Beaver dams and a beutiful, scenic morning. then a short 57 and 12 rod portage to Jack Lake. EXTRA WINDY now... Canoing right into it. Tough going South into a South wind on Jack Lake. Then stopped to pump water, and then portaged from Jack to Kelly (72 rods) Then paddlin, against the wind. Found the portage from Kelly to Burnt (230 rods) Double portaged this over to Burnt. Son Nick and I were the first portaged and we were staying at Burnt so we went searching for a campsite.  Went Clear across Burnt going West... NO CAMPSITE. Paddled Back to rest of crew and said we would need to check the two North campsites. Went past the NorthEast site (Taken) Found the North Site...last campsite on Lake. (YES we'll take it) Set up camp far NORTH end of Burnt. I liked it here. We hadn't had much to eat so made 3 pkgs (5 qts) mac and cheese for a snack at 4 pm. Then went and pumped water, and gathered wood. Re-hydrated 2 lbs hampburger and made goolosh for Supper. Made Hot Chocolate and Buttershot Schnapps (Boy that hit the spot) We ate Goolash at 8 pm, had a few drinks, enjoyed the evening and had a down-poor. So we went to bed with everything wet. Got up everyone wanted a shower and to get going so we had a light snack or two and headed back towards Sawbill West.
