Bacon and eggs for breakfast. Today is a planned day trip to Cattyman Falls, which starts out great until the wind hits us as hard as on Snowbank the day before, not enjoyable. Aside from the wind, the trip is great; beautiful scenery and sunshine. The portages were short, but with more elevation than I was expecting. Jitterbug “dock” helped out a lot, but the water was still a bit low which made re-entering the canoe a balancing act. 

As we finish the portage onto Cattyman we see from a distance some fellow campers enjoying the falls. As we approach we realize there are 6 watercraft and more than 11 people all about the falls, so we stop across the lake, eat lunch, and wait until the pile of people and canoes thins out. The falls are a beautiful accomplishment and enjoyed to their fullest before we leave.

As we return to our campsite on Disappointment the “squatters” down the shore had left during the day, which is nice, but we notice another set of “squatters” camping on a small island without a campsite just to the SW of our site. This is less bothersome than the others, but we smell mary-jane on the air and hear them clean their dishes into the lake. In the early evening we see 7 loons together, swimming, squawking, and splashing. This is a first for me and I love the show.
