Up at 5:00, it's a little drizzly and windy, I drove to the landing loaded the canoe up, then took the suburban to the lot, and the water around 5:30 and headed to the 1st 30rd portage to Alton,

through Alton and on to a 140rd portage to Beth, I started to head where I thought the portage was, but realized I had to go further west, when I was just about to turn west I seen a moose and calf, so I watch them for about 20 minutes. (pretty cool, not even 3 hours into my trip), then on to my longest portage of the trip a 285rd, then to Grace, then 4 more portages, this falls was on one of these portages, then through Phoebe to Knight where I spent my 1st night, nice campsite out of the flow of traffic, by now the sun has come out and it's a really a nice evening, I arrived at camp around 4:00pm.
I setup camp and start drying wet cloths from mist and sweat, this was one of the 1st things I did when I got to camp just about every day, water adds weight, a good supper and get everything reorganized and to bed by 8:30 to 9:00.
