Clearwater Lake
Breakfast was scrambled eggs with bacon and hot drinks.
This was our "day off" and we enjoyed the warm weather while setting up a hammock and a tarp shade, visiting, swimming, sunning and exploring the area. A pair of loons stayed near our side of the lake almost all day, checking us out. It was nice to enjoy time together without the constant presence of texting or Facebook.
Our group nurse, Sherry took care of our scrapes and cuts from the day before. Leah said, "I can't cut my self anymore otherwise Sherry's going to go all first aid on me."
The girls enjoyed roasted Starbursts. And after an amazing dinner of grilled steak and mashed potatoes that turned out to be everyone's most memorable meal of the whole trip, we hung the food and went for a sunset canoe ride. We saw a Merganser with four ducklings on the opposite shore. The sunset was beautiful and peaceful.
