Tuesday, August 28, 2018: Cairn, Heronshaw, Metacryst, NoNme, Baird, Cub, Eag, Camel 12.25 miles, 8 portages, 2 beaver dams

We had two showers overnight and cooler temps than previous night and are both wearing fleece today. Between Heronshaw and Metacryst we got suckered into a fading portage by pink trail tape hanging on the Heronshaw side—while the “portage” trail was initially distinct, it faded into a cross-country walk about the time we could see Metacryst We paddled around the Metacryst shore and found the proper portage--won't trust any more pink trail tape! Had lunch on Cub, and saw evidence of another party having stayed in the site last night—dry outline of tent. Haven't seen anyone since Sunday morning. Found nice campsite on Camel, and settled in for the evening.
