Day 2 of 9
Monday, June 06, 2011 We decided to take a camp day. We're on vacation. We can do what ever we want. We had coffee, pancakes and bacon.
After breakfast Jay fished from shore and caught a couple smallies.

After lunch we took the canoe out and paddled around the lake. We saw one guy bring a canoe down the portage. Never saw him again. I think he continued on to Rocky Lake or Hustler Lake. Later we saw a group of five (yup, count ’em, 5) canoes and 9 guys come in. They all went over to the camp in the middle of the point. After an hour or so the guy in the solo canoe paddled around to the camp on the tip of the point. Looked like intentional rule breaking.
