We awoke this morning and made a huge batch of just add water pancakes. Everyone ate until they were uncomfortable. The plan was to calorie up for a day of tripping to a few close lakes. We weren't very keen on what the weather might do, so we climbed the rock hill behind our site and checked the weather and radar on our cell phones. Since I had cell reception, I did check in with my wife and tell here we were having a wonderful time. She let me know she was busy spending money on furniture while I was gone. We decided to stick close to home today and focused our efforts on the Western side of the lake. A couple of views from "Reception Hill:":

The day consisted of a variety of northerns, smallmouth, and even a day-time walleye. After another great day on the water, we made our way back to camp and prepared a tin foil dinner, consisting of: fish, new potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions (for those that liked them...).
We wrapped up the night with some walleye fishing and a little bit of bug slappin'. They progressively thickened every night we were there. They were still very mild at the end of our trip, but you could tell all those 80 degree days were bringin' them out.
