Slept in a bit this morning. It was getting colder at night and my motivation to get out of my sleeping bag at 5 a.m. was dwindling. As I was packing up, some ominous looking clouds rolled in, but ended up passing. Didn't see anyone the entire way through the Kek ponds, finally ran into some people at Eddy falls. Stopped there and grabbed a few pictures, even managed to get someone to take my picture. It was nice not having to race my 10 second timer for once.

Fished the bottom of the falls where Eddy comes into Knife, picked up a few smallmouth in no time. Headed West hoping to find the coveted sand beach spot open but it was taken. Settled for the site #1434, which is still a good site. I've camped there before with my brothers, so that spot holds good memories for me.

Cooked up fish for dinner and dipped it in the special sauce my brothers and I invented at this site, ketchup mixed with Cholula and crushed red pepper. Amazing stuff. Met a few fellow Ohioans fishing the channel as I was doing dishes, seemed they had good luck fishing on Knife too.

Day 13 route.
