Long Island Lake vacation
by rmpeterson2
Got up early and looked out of the tent to see gray sky.
I walked out and looked out at the lake. There was no lake visible. The fog was so thick I couldn't see anything farther than the island we were on. When the sun came up the fog burned off and the lake was completely calm. We packed up camp and had a quick breakfast. As we left the island and headed west around the island we saw a rainbow in the remaining fog that looked so close that we could nearly touch it.
The sun burned off the remaining fog and it was perfect weather for canoeing.
With no wind and easy water, the trip back was quick. The two 18 year olds tried to double pack on the portages in preparation for a longer trip next year. They did a fine job on those portages.
Despite the rain and bad fishing, we had a great time.
