Day 3 of 7
Wednesday, August 10, 2016 A much needed layover day for me after yesterday afternoon. A light rain started about day light and ended about 10:30 a.m. or so. I’m getting old so I stayed in bed until 11:00 which felt good. The temperatures have been really nice. Not hot during the day and cool enough at night to use my sleeping bag as a blanket.

We had a brunch of scrambled eggs and bacon. We took the canoe out twice that day to fish. We both came the conclusion that this was a very pretty lake but alas, had no fish in it. The sky was overcast and we had some on and off light rain late that afternoon. We made tortilla pizza for supper. I had 2 and Chris had 4. That boy can pack the food away which is good as it helps lighten the load. This was a nice relaxing day that helped me recoup a little which was good for what was coming the next day. We have not seen anyone since we left Boulder Lake.
