Oatmeal and coffee and we packed up heading into a wind back towards Fourtown and some
Walleyes..retracing our path to Fourtown seemed easier this time... of course the food pack is getting
lighter and we also combined two packs to eiliminate one.

We arrived at a camp on Fourtown, bucking a good head wind and about 1 1/2 ft waves. This camp was
nice but we could tell that we were in an area closer to the edge of the BWCA as the camp really looked
used and had foil and cigarette butts littering the fireplace and the area.. The wind got stronger so we
decided to explore while gathering firewood..

We enjoyed finding and eating some blueberries (not alot, but they gave us a taste and fueled the
prospect of planning a future trip to coincide with possible ripe berries...
Our hard food pack, which had provided our cold food had served its purpose and we mixed the gallon
jug of melted icewater with Gatorade. and enjoyed tacos and Gatorade and cooked apple delight for
supper... Built a fire and enjoyed the evening despite the windy conditions...

RAIN

We felt confident that Thursday would be a good fishing day on Fourtown...
