Day 3 of 14
Saturday, May 9th, 2015
when I got to the last of the 5 portages I was resting before I went across, I seen something come up to the water about 30 yards away, didn't know what it was, a couple minutes later a wolf was standing about 10 yards or less from me, when it seen me it ran away fast, 1st wolf I've seen in the BW, I was just about ready to cross the portage again, when a moose came out and was playing in the water up the river a ways, then crossed to the other side and came down the shore and then crossed back to my side about 40 yards away and in to the woods it went,(by far one of the coolest parts of the trip).
Across the portage I went to Polly, paddled across Polly to the next 3 portages, I made it to Koma around 4:00, where I spent my 2nd night, had a good supper, got everything dryed out again, and in bed by 8:30 to 9:00 again, (long days of travel will ware you out).
Up again at 5:00am, tear down camp and back on the water by 5:30, I paddled across Knight then to the 1st 140rd portage of the day,
through Hazel and on to 5 more portages.when I got to the last of the 5 portages I was resting before I went across, I seen something come up to the water about 30 yards away, didn't know what it was, a couple minutes later a wolf was standing about 10 yards or less from me, when it seen me it ran away fast, 1st wolf I've seen in the BW, I was just about ready to cross the portage again, when a moose came out and was playing in the water up the river a ways, then crossed to the other side and came down the shore and then crossed back to my side about 40 yards away and in to the woods it went,(by far one of the coolest parts of the trip).
