Day 2 of 6
Monday, July 15, 2013 The next morning the fishing crowd decided to check out Malberg Lake. My canoeing partner became Tim. He was an avid back packer with some experience in a canoe. Tim and I decided to get out of our campsite and explore north to Malberg Lake. We checked out a couple camp sites, one was taken by a couple that passed us the day before. The other was a beautiful spot, but would have been too small for our group. Had lunch there, I had humus with pita chips and a bottle of filtered lake water. At that moment I felt I was living the “good life”. When we headed back to our camp site on Koma, the group decided to break camp and head to Polly Lake. Glad we did, found a wonderful site. Great view and enough room for all of us. The guys sleeping in hammocks found trees on the water to set up on. They had a wonderful morning wake up view. Decided to spend two days on Polly. The only negative on this site, as soon as it got dark the mosquitoes swarmed. It was like a cloud. We all headed in for the evening.
