We were up by 4:00 am ate at the Cranberry. Picked up the bait and were on our way to ep 23. It was a beautiful morning, we were on Picket creek by 7:30 AM we were not 5 minutes into the trip, and we saw a small buck 15 yds in front of us, then we saw another one 2 minutes later.

When we reached the portages to Fourtown we saw some people coming out with all their belongings spread all over the place. We had to unload on the beaver dam, then I heard Lora yell in disgust someone had taken a dump right at the portage, right on the trail and didn't even try to dispose of it.

With that behind us, we made it to Gun Lake by 3:30 PM I double portaged and Lora single portaged. We saw a couple of anglers; the boy said the fishing was great the father said it was OK. The five star campsite was taken. By the time we got to the other campsite it was pouring, we set up the tent and tarp and the rain stopped. After the long day we just ate dinner and fished from the campsite and caught a few smallies and were sleeping before sunset.
