It rained and stormed hard all night and the rain continued on and off all day long. As the day progressed the temperatures cooled to the 40's, but the fishing below the falls was as hot as the day before. We decided to stay in camp today given what a nice site it was, plus we didn't really feel like having a travel day in the rain.

The weather cleared up a bit in the afternoon allowing Greg and I to explore the lake and troll around for lakers. We didn't have any luck finding lakers, so we returned to camp and had our fill of walleye nirvana all night long. Jan and Kyle spent the afternoon cutting an impressive wood pile. The next guests to this campsite would certainly enjoy the courtesy wood.

As night fell, the rain returned and so we drifted off to sleep.
