We left Temperance River campground at 6:30. We stopped at holiday for breakfast and coffee since we did not want to waste time cooking and because we forgot the eggs to make french toast with. We also broke our eggs for in the BWCA so we bought dozen and took 3 eggs and gave the other 9 to the cashier. We had an hour drive to the Kawishiwi Lake and we were on the water at 9ish. The first lake was windy and our canoe was not weighted great with a light front end and we did get spun in the wind onetime. The river was much calmer and we could shift some weight closer to the front. When we got to Square Lake we could see the burn and blow down area. We met a group of 6 guys coming out at the portage going to Polly and a mom, dad, and 9ish year old boy going in, from Michigan. Their goal was Malberg as well. On the portage after square we found raspberries and blueberries which were ripe. We were excited to pick a few for a snack and hoped for some by our site for our pancakes. We had a 0.6 mile and 0.4 mile portages to Polly. There was also a group of 4 happy young girls, maybe 8 years old with 4 dads in there 30s coming out. When portaging we saw a group of 3 canoes behind us which seemed to be pushing for Malberg. We kicked it down a bit across Polly and continued to single portage everything to keep in front of the other groups. We ate a quick egg salad sandwich on koma and trails mix. I chipped my tooth on a carmel in our mix. We got to Malberg and sites didn't seem like they would be a problem sites 1054, 1055, and 1056 were all open. The narrows (1053) was taken by a couple of guys. They were leaving tomorrow but they did say the group on the sand site (1051) left this morning and they thought it was still open. We headed there and made camp at one hell of a nice site (5stars). Not great fishing but great sand beach cooking area and spot for 4 tents. We set up camp in a hurry with feeling a few sprinkles. We ate a snack and collected firewood. At 5ish we decided to lay down for an hour nap. We had pizzas over the fire for supper. Nikki dropped one pizza in the fire. We decided to go and get water and troll for a bit. We saw a 1 year old black bear by the water in the narrows right when I hooked the first walleye. We went to the deeper narrows to see depth and talked to a group who pulled in at 3ish. On the way back Nikki had a nice bite but missed it and I had a little northern. We went back to camp had a fire and read a bit and fished from shore with no luck. Temp was low 60s with wind 10 to 15 mph from the north, gusts at times 20mph. It was cloudy with a few times some blue sky peaking out. Sunset was cloudy but still nice. We had a great day with no fighting.
