Day 6 Thursday July 26 By morning the clouds were back and they had the look of rain. Breakfast was pancakes and sausage. Jeff and Austin decided to fish and hang around camp while the rest of us decided to day trip with fishing on the side. The destination was the Temperance Lakes. We paddled around the Cones for a bit trying to fool a fish and then headed west. There are some huge cliffs along the western shore of Brule towards Cam Lake. The rain gods began drizzling on us but with warm temps we weren’t too miserable. We paddled and portage into S Temperance which has a lot of small islands….along with a LOT of canoes. This is a busy intersection for canoe traffic…Lark’s notes said we counted around 20 on that small lake coming and going. Around 2PM we stopped on a rock (all 4 sites were taken) and put the feed bag on. The weather was getting more suspicious so we decided to skip North Temperance…These don’t appear to be lakes to visit if you want to get away from traffic. The wind and rain picked up on Brule and getting back to the island was a slug but we arrived by 4PM….damp and tired. Jeff and Austin had gotten in a nice load of firewood and had a decent fire going which was way nice. Dinner that night was a pot of Zatarrin’s Black Beans and Rice, Red Beans and Rice, sweet corn, hamburger, mushrooms and cheese. We made some cheese garlic biscuits and a cherry cheesecake to complete the menu. This is our last night here. Tomorrow we head back Sawbill Campground where Dr Z, Lark and I will stay for two more nights while Jeff and the boys head back to Kewaunee for Austin’s 16th birthday party on Saturday.
