Tuesday, May 31, 2011 I was hopeful that when I got up this morning that the storm would have passed through. Unfortunately, the storm was here to stay for a little longer. After being stuck out in the nasty weather the day before, I decided to hang around camp for a while. I looked over the map, and decided that the prevailing winds were coming out of the west, and my route provide plenty of protection from the winds. Around 1 p.m. I was antsy to get out and keep making progress. I left Boulder Bay and headed for Lake Agnes. When I got to Agnes, the winds had changed direction completely, and they were coming straight across Agnes. Agnes look like an ocean. The winds were so strong that I could not paddle forward. I had to get off the water, so I found a clearing and hung out on that clearing all day, all the meantime I kept kicking myself for leaving a five-star campsite. Next time I'm here, I will definitely slow down. At points the wind was so strong that it lifted the canoe off the ground and blew it a few feet into some shrubs. This was a serious storm. Being windbound, I had no choice but to camp in an nondesignated area.

Day 4 Summary: LLC-Agnes

Note to self: don't leave a premium campsite when the wind is relentlessly howling.
