Number of Days: 6
Group Size: 4
Day 2 of 6
Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Woke up at 6am and started getting everything ready. Ate bacon and eggs and drove to Kawishiwi to pick up the permit. Our plan was to depart from Snowbank from Smitty's and try to make it to Thomas lake through disappointment . I had read that it takes 6 hours to make it there but didn't factor in that we had 2 aluminum canoes and left relatively late (9 a.m).
After the very long 10 hour canoe/portage we made camp on Ima. We were exhausted and got pretty frustrated because almost all the campsites were booked but we managed to find one near the portage to Hatchet. We got settled in, ate steaks then went to bed.
