a late start as i wanted to paddle to the basswood/horse river split with them. they will be taking the horse river from hell, ill be heading east on the basswood.

i decided to do the 1 mile horse portage figuring the river paddle would have some tough take outs/put ins due to the low water.

the horse portage was easy, just long.

once i hit big basswood i decide to not push my luck with wind...i head south.

im on a small island site just outside jackfish bay.

tomorrow i will portage into then out of wind lake to moose.

its been raining all day now and i had to do an entire clothing change. my main pack will be about 5 lbs heavier tomorrow now due to wet clothes.

some pics of the day...
