Spent the day gathering wood and fishing. We wanted a nice fire - so we headed along the shorelines via canoe with saw in hand. Cut some downed cedar trees that looked very dry and seasoned. No walleyes still, however Leslie picked up a bass and agreed to eat it. She had angler's remorse upon watching me fillet - so she only wanted a small piece for dinner. The evening fire was awesome! We left a stash of dry wood for the next campers. Last night - and much warmer conditions prevailed. Slept like a rock. Planned our exit strategy for the morning hoping the portage was drier.
