Wednesday, September 25, 2013 A wake for a nice sunrise, breakfast was pancakes and syrup with hot chocolate !

We wanted an earlier start today, were going to try for Horseshoe today ! Our first portage out of Kiskadinna was only 35 rods, but straight up. Everybody laughed and called it mini Heart attack !! On into Omega to the east portage and into Henson ,east to the end of lake , then the north portage into Pillsbury, east into Allen then a 50 rod portage into Horseshoe, it was about 5:30 when we got to the first campsite across from our 20 rod portage for the morning.

Beautiful weather once again 65-70 light winds and full sunshine, Perfect !!
