Friday, September 23, 2016 Just a beautiful morning. It couldn't be more peaceful. After breakfast, we broke camp and began the trek to SAK via Topaz, Amoeber. Our target was the beach site 1432. We saw 2 other canoes today and were worried that maybe it would be taken but as we paddled in we saw that it was unoccupied so we set up camp. A grouse came through camp so I took out my .22 pistol and got our lunch. Missed the first shot but he was no match for my barefoot stalking skills. After grouse nuggets for lunch we headed out for some fishing. We ended up with 3 smallmouth. We cubed them up, boiled them, and added them to a clam chowder soup mix. We had to force ourselves to get it all down. We ate like pigs the whole trip! It felt a little cooler this evening but still unseasonably pleasant. Any time you can jump in the lake to clean up in the end of September, you are winning. Looks like weather is rolling in though.
