Thursday, August 29, 2013 today we headed over to daniels lake to do a day trip. the easy portage in was nice and the day seemed cooler and the weather had a feeling of change to it. we paddled the entire lake, checking the campsites along the way. there was one on the north side that was nice, but the rest were just so-so. as we were heading back to duncan i caught movement in the water along the south shore. the flopping ears of a moose, entirely in the water up to her head with her twin calves on shore. what a treat, of course we forgot the camera. we headed back to duncan, with the wind picking up, it started to lightly rain. as we headed our north site on duncan, the rain came. i headed for the tarp, my wife headed for the tent. thunder rolled from lake to lake. it is such an awesome sound to hear. that evening it rained so hard our shoes were floating under our vestibules. the relief from the heat never came.
