Travel day. One thing about our group this year is we don’t mess around in the morning and we get going early. On the water at 7:00 am. Gaskin was mirror smooth and slid under us easily. The portage to Henson was steep and surprisingly muddy 95 rods. Henson impressed me as a lake to travel through but not to stay on. It was closed in and seemed pretty buggy. The first site on the lake was very small with only two tent pads and the second site had tall grass/weeds around the fire grate. We ventured on the Omega Lake and took the site on the southernmost shore. I instantly fell in love with this lake and this site! One of the most gorgeous views I’ve ever encountered. As we explored the lake we found an active loon nest which I’ve never encountered before. We did our best not to get too close yet try to get a look.
