Our plan was to paddle up to Ge-be-on-e-quet & check out the stone chairs, then paddle up & spend the night on Pocket. From there we would go into Lac La Croix & spend a day on Boulder Bay. The final night we planned on staying on Nina Moose.

Well, that was the original plan. We slept in until 9:00 am, by the time we had breakfast the wind had picked up again. Jessica was pretty sore & it was going to be more work than she wanted to do. So we decided to just spend a few days on Oyster. What a great choice, we had the whole lake to ourselves. We paddled over to the rock cliff & hiked to the top for a great vista. More swimming, napping, card playing & eating was the course of the day. Followed by another awesome sunset.
