Thursday, August 13, 2015 we drove to the parking lot at entry #23 for the start of our trip which began with Mudro Lake, Sandpit Lake, Tin Can Mike Lake, Horse Lake and up the Horse River to Lower Basswood Falls. The traffic along the numerous portages make the entry trek slower than planned and we ended up breaking for lunch at campsite #1551 on the US side of Crooked Lake. After lunch we paddled another 6-7 miles to a small bay in between Wednesday and Thursday bays where we stayed for two nights.
