Day 5 of 6
Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Woke up at 6am. Weather was good. Bannock and coffee, fished and listened to the radio until I had to poop. Weather rolled in about 11am. 11:40 it let loose for an hour and a half. Close to 2". Clearing to the west now. Glad I stashed all my gear. Hammock is a little wet, but I'll be fine. Twins game on. Took some good pics before the storm. I will pack everything but the hammock and rain tarp tonight before bed. Early start, hoping to be at mom and dad's by 4 or 5. Chicken breast and mashed potatoes for dinner. Mac and cheese tomorrow for breakfast. Twins lost 5-3. Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, not too happy about that. All in all, this has been a great trip. Bugs pissed me off, but I guess it could have been worse. I don't like to portage, maybe a different route or destination next time. One small mishap with Drag Lake, but learned a lesson. Would bring less non-essential stuff, too many multiples. Extra weight... Too many bull shit ideas to do, but lesson learned. Found a 2001 penny at camp.
