We started the day with a most enjoyable excursion to Warrior Hill. We spent about an hour and a half on the Hill enjoying the view. We had no Canadian permits, as I imagine most visitors there do not. You can debate the wisdom of that, but that is for another forum. After the Warrior Hill diversion, we headed south through Boulder Bay. We took the snaky river passage to avoid a 65 rod portage which I do not think saved any time in the long run. We stopped for lunch in Lake Agnes just after the 24 rod portage, and then pushed on to Nina Moose Lake where we camped at a beautiful spot (#1817). We spent two nights there as we had built a layover day into our schedule. We covered 15 miles on the day
