Long day. Out of camp at 10? Battled few waves on Fraser. Enjoyed a nice river system or creek or whatever you wanna call it (Hatchet area). Best part of the day for me. Rest was portages that took too long from standing around and applying sunscreen, smoking cigarettes (not me), etc. A lot of it could have been done on the water, but instead I stood around and got eaten by bugs while the guys did their thing. Oh well..... most of the day was absolutely gorgeous.

Got to Ima at 2pm with bad wind and waves. Both island campsites were taken. Ended up at a site further west, on a rocky point, with TONS of blowdowns. We couldn't/didn't use the only tent pad due to a big half-down tree supported by a few other trees, right above the pad. (Later learned this blowdown happened in 2016, apparently USFS doesn't think this was a risk??). I was not a fan of this site, save for the large seating area by the firepit, and the large rock face to lay on and watch the clouds go by.

We spent 3 hours eating lunch (tucked away behind a giant boulder away from the wind) and setting up camp. I don't know how the time went so fast. Wind sucked until 10pm, then mosquitoes came out like there was no tomorrow, and we all had to walk in loops as we ate our dinner fully clothed with rain gear on to stop ourselves from being eaten alive. The guys did some light astrophotography as it was clear, but I went to bed a little early and they followed not long after. If I'm being truthful, my attitude wasn't the best because of the travel stresses and the poor campsite condition, and I just wanted to fall asleep without any snoring.

I didn't sleep well given the bunch of roots and rocks under my spot (only flat place to put the tent) but I took it to spare the guys. Not expecting a thanks but an acknowledgement would have been nice. They may not have seen how bumpy the spot was though. Starting to be ready to leave. Sigh. Good trip, has ups and downs. At least the sunset was nice.
