The morning brought another beautiful day.

With our new relaxed schedule, we decided to leave late morning. A few people fished in the morning. A few of us took a trip to the eloquently-named Section Three Pond.

We packed up and retraced our steps over the Slim-Little Loon portage. It was much easier going the other way and on a fresh pair of legs. We paddled through Little Loon and back on to Loon. We decided to camp at the site next to the portage to Heritage. It’s a great site. A ton of elevation, very spacious, good trails for exploring, and to our delight, there was a sandy beach nearby right at the portage.

We went swimming at the beach and played some cards in the ‘card room’ on a flat rock near the top of the site.

We scoped out the portage for tomorrow. It took us a little while, but we found the portage at the south side of the beach in the tall grass. Dinner that night was spaghetti, which went over very well. While refilling water bottles, one of the guys took a spill in the lake—the rocks near the water are very steep. We all had a good laugh!
