Day 4 of 8
Saturday, September 05, 2015 I left Finger for LLC. I developed a new mental approach to my trip. I busted my butt to get to Finger…why? I ran cross country and track and coached both. It’s a lot about the end result, place and time, in both sports. I decided I needed to enjoy the journey more and not be so obsessed with the destination and time. My paddle on LLC was much calmer and I enjoyed it more. I camped on the western edge of Fish Stake Narrows. It was a nice camp (153), but well used. I have concluded that 5 star sites are nice, but can be overused; a good 3 star may be cleaner/wilder. I had a very pleasant stay. I saw no other people today.
