More wildlife, less fishlife…
We got a late start this morning. We approached the Horse portage knowing what was ahead. It was a bear, but we survived. We stopped at Upper Basswood Falls again, but only caught a few fish.
We have seen so many more eagles, beaver and loons this year than last year. We headed up Basswood River to find a campsite. We chose one right before Wheelbarrow Falls. We went out for a quick little row and then came back to hit the hay. We were sore and tired. The weather was warm and we were looking forward to the cool night air that was sure to arrive. Being from Kansas where cool night air doesn’t happen in the summer, we always look forward to that treat in Minnesota. I fell asleep listening to lots of “creepy” animal sounds.
