I am woken up early by thunder roaring through Crooked Lake right into our camp. It is raining heavily so I go back to sleep. I wake at 8:45 and it has stopped raining and is starting to clear up. It looks like it will be a beautiful day. We break camp and hit the water headed to Thursday Bay (no portages today!). The paddle through Crooked Lake is beautiful. We stopped to check out the pictographs and marvel at the high cliffs lining the waterway. We stop at a vacant site for a quick lunch and then back on the water. We check the island site in the middle of Thursday Bay and it’s open and there isn’t a soul around. The site is a 5 star if I ever saw one! There is room for at least 4 tents with a great view with a very personal setting. We also notice that there are absolutely no mosquitoes here which is fantastic! Some one had left a makeshift bow there but no arrow so I carved one up and used a piece of birch bark as a feather on the back and actually got it to stick into a tree. The weather was perfect all day we spend it lounging around camp; we played chess, did some fishing, and made a fire. It is almost a full moon now and we enjoy the brightness before heading off to bed. I can sleep without my rain-fly tonight!
