Woke up around 6 a.m. to an awesome sunrise. Headed North towards Kekekabic and hit the water on Kek around 10 a.m. The wind was pretty strong, right in my face, and I headed to the North shore hoping to avoid some of it.

Once I hit the calmer waters of the North shore I started feeling pretty lazy. I knew there was a good site around the middle of the lake, and I told myself I was going to take it if it was open. As luck would have it, the site (site #1422) was open and I made camp earlier than I had the entire trip. Camp was set up by noon, and then I fished the islands in front of camp. Caught a few small ones, but the wind was making fishing difficult.

I headed back to camp and did some swimming right off the site. I really love how clear the water is on these Northern lakes. I found a nice "seat" right by the edge of the water that was formed by the "cliff" there, comfortable as hell. Made dinner and headed to bed. The fire pit area at this site has the best table rock I've seen in the BWCA, perfectly flat!

Route for day 12.

Reading in my cliff seat.
