Thursday, August 14, 2014 Thursday morning greeted us with the coldest temperatures of the trip- a low in the upper 30's, but that was quickly warmed by the sun and light southerly breeze. It was our day to rest and take it easy around camp. We picked many blueberries, fished some (I caught my first and only South Temperance fish on this day...finally), took naps, and cleaned up some gear to get ready for the move day the following morning. The change in the weather happened just as it was forecasted, but the fish didn't really care and we once again had only 2 fish to split for dinner. While fishing the northeast parts of the lake, Tyler and I were informed by a passing canoe that a cow and calf moose were in the bay just up past where we were fishing. We paddled on over hoping to see them, but I was only able to catch a glimpse of the cow as she exited the water while we were still almost 200 yards away. Tyler of course was looking the wrong direction and will have to wait another year to see his first BW moose, but I was glad for having gotten the chance to see her, however short and fleeting the moment was. Tyler and I also ran into a FS ranger duo in the afternoon, who after checking our permits informed us that they had cleared all the blowdowns on the portages to the south. That was some great news indeed, and we were very thankful for their efforts! Most of the rest of the day was uneventful, and we turned in quite early to prepare for the next morning.
