Monday, August 04, 2014 Day 4 Lakes paddled - Crooked Lake, Wednesday Bay Paddled 10 miles, 1 portages/33 rods.

Another perfect sunrise. We saw the pictographs and had lunch at the table rock site at the transition to Wednesday Bay. We quickly got to our campsite on the north east side of Thursday Bay and enjoyed some good fishing and a rest day.


Dad's Journal

Started at 6 on a campsite at lower basswood. hearing the falls were great. One portage and we made it to the fishing spots on the bays. We pushed it today to reach a five star site, only it didn't have a fire grate. We hit the pictographs and had lunch at table rock site. We got turned around for a few minutes and spoke with some other folks that helped direct us. As we approached our campsite for the night, an eagle soared above us.

Daughter's Journal

Today started off good. We are actually very good paddlers. We did get a little turned around. I feel bad I got so frustrated and short with Dad. I just hate getting lost and I feel like I keep questioning his every move. Kinda weird I haven't been too hungry and also the thought of peeing and bathing has been put off by all the mosquitoes. Overall so far so good. Sunset was nice. Dinner on the rocks. Things are looking up.
