Day 9 of 14
Monday, July 11, 2011. I woke up early and wanted to do some exploring before everyone else got out of bed. I headed back to the portage on to Bullet Lake and had a walk around. I crossed the stream looking for a better vantage point of the pond. I have wanted to see a moose ever since my first wilderness trip up to Maine but as of yet have been excluded from this right. This pond was perfect moose habitat and I was hoping to see one. I crept around trying to be as stealthy as possible and as I looked around a tree I saw the brown fur of what I knew to be a moose. Wrong, just two white tail deer like you see at the Wal-Mart parking lot. It was still cool to see and I got some pictures, you just have to be the photographer to see them. We fished the rest of the day. My job as bear barrel Nazi has paid off. We have enough dry foods stock to last the remainder of the trip and a couple of extra. So we splurge a little for lunch and include a mid afternoon snack. Pork loin and rice for dinner and the starving hoard has been tamed one more day. More sipping, jaw wagging and star gazing.
