21 day solo in August
by bobcole
Slept like a rock. The previous two days portaging finally caught up with me. Didn't wake up until 9:30 a.m. I realized that my body must be trying to tell me something, so I decided to do a layover there. It was a great site and plenty secluded so I figured why not? I also woke up with a throbbing headache, which I could only assume was due to dehydration. I made a mental note to drink more water in the coming days.
Did a bit of fishing and swimming throughout the day, had some luck fishing, but didn't feel like keeping any for dinner. Overall, it was a lazy, boring day, and it was exactly what I needed. I made plans to set out early for Alice in hopes of grabbing one of the coveted beach spots. I had a nice fire and did some reading while the sun went down. Perfect day.
