Woke up around 5 a.m. Made breakfast and watched the sun rise while I enjoyed some coffee. Packed up camp and made it to the Ensign/Ashigan portage by 7:15 a.m. 55, 105, 25 rods to go into Ashigan, Gibson, and Cattyman. I set my gear to the side, and backtracked to check out the falls. I'd never seen them before, they're pretty impressive. Snapped a few pictures and headed on my way.

By the time I finished the 55 rod portage from Cattyman to Jordan I was exhausted. I realized at this point I was going to have to start eating more for breakfast, I forgot how tiring portaging could be. Claimed the Southern most site on Jordan(site #1201).

The site was very roomy and secluded from the rest of the lake. Most definitely a 5 star site. Found a nice spot to hang my hammock about 10 feet from the water. After dinner I decided I was going to have to slow my route the first few days. My muscles were already sore and I knew it was going to take a few days before I got back in the groove of things. I decided the next day would be a shorter portaging day and I'd stop on Hatchet.

Route for day 2.

Cattyman Falls. Lens got some mist on it but I kind of like the picture anyway.
