Thursday, May 21, 2009 Day two I woke up early to the sound of the wind rapping on my tent. I got up made pancakes for breakfast and begrudgingly conceded that this too was in all likelihood gonna be another wind bound day. I spent most of the morning sawing/chopping firewood. Thankfully there were trails running in several directions for exploring. The wind kept getting worse as the day progressed. I had a few ciscos so I thought I'd throw one out from shore? I managed to get a bite. (the only one all day) but just as I was about to get the fish within eyeshot, he spit the hook. Oh well. The one positive was that this site was an excellent place to call home for a few days. As a cool night fell and the wind finally died down, I had plenty of firewood to warm me as I sat by the fire enjoying some blackberry brandy. It must've been after 11:00? I had crawled into my tent, when I heard the unmistakeable echo of an aluminum canoe being dropped, coming from the portage to Missing Link. From the traffic I could see from my camp throughout the day, most if not all the sites on this end of the lake were taken. Besides it would be pretty tough to locate them in the dark anyways. Was gonna invite them to my camp if they came by, but they never did....
