Finally on the water. There is no way to enter at access point #31 Farm Lake. We were dropped off at the southern tip of South Farm Lake. 47.881 -91.705 Things were going good until our first portage. We were looking for the portage from Kawishwi River to Clear Lake going south. I didn't check my compass but we found this path that hadn't been used in a while. We had to cut up a fallen tree on the path and we came out on the Kawishwi river that we just left. We portaged to the west and ended up back on the river. A bit embarrassing since I was one of the co-leaders. From Clear Lake to South Kawishwi River we stopped early at a camp site we found. Decent spot, but the most ideal but worked for the first night. 47.888 -91.627
