Left the campsite after a breakfast of oatmeal topped with almonds and dried blueberries. Short day of paddling, around 4 miles. We saw more people today, but we were all staggered enough so that no one had to wait at the portages. Day was gray and it rained on an off. Somehow the weather is never really a bother when your in a place you love. We took the eastern arm out of Lake One. Maybe it's me but its always a little jarring coming back into civilization. Warm showers felt amazing and we stopped at the Steakhouse for burgers and fish sandwiches. I ate the fish there that I never caught.


Another great trip with good friends and beautiful wilderness. It just didn't last long enough. And my friends who had not been to this area before loved it and look forward to going again.
