Day 4 of 7
Wednesday, August 10, 2016 Today was another great day, the occasional boat in Canadian waters could be heard but not intrusive I'd say. We barely saw anyone in Snow Bay all 4 days, but we did see a couple people move in this day. We packed our poles and a lunch and went NE from Snow Bay around the large point and explored a couple seldom used sites that I'd rate 1 or 2's. We took the unmarked portage back to Snow Bay, after almost an hour of poking and prodding around until we found the right landing. We had a group chat about our plans for the way out. We could pack up and move tomorrow (Thursday) and stay on Loon or Pauness for 2 days and have a shorter trip back to the EP on Saturday morning. Or we could stay here another day and move to those lakes on Friday, stay there one night and head out on Sat. We were going to let the weather radio decide for us, until it said 50% chance of showers and storms Thursday, Thursday night, Friday, and Friday night. Great....thanks weather radio. We chose to pack up and move Thursday so if the weather was bad we'd still have Friday to try.
