Woke up to a snapping turtle hanging out near the fire.

Started on Saganaga with a short paddle. Portage #23 was very short, and able to carry fully loaded canoes across with little effort. Not much to say about Swamp Lake, it was there and we crossed it. Portage 24 was distinctly lacking in mud or rough terrain, which made for a quick and easy portage. Ottertrack was a nice paddle, nice weather and no wind to speak of.

From when we see other paddlers out and about our strategy of sleeping in, leaving camp late, and stopping after a moderate amount of time on the lake, has worked well so far. Campsite 2001 was good, but the site only had punky firewood, a few very nice looking trees near the site, but they wont tip over for a while yet.
