Day 4 - Wednesday (9/4/2019) We pushed off 1/2 hour late. Again JS and son just could not get it going. We backtracked our route and did the toughest portage first. The groups were well-rested, and you could tell the spirits were high. I think the time in the hammock and day's rest, combined with the knowledge we were not going to be going further helped things out. At the end of the first portage, the one that almost some, there was plenty of energy left.

The last portage, now nicknamed "Broke-Back Canoe" (canoe was screwed) due to the earlier canoe breaking incident. Not real original but it was the best I could come up with at the moment.

It didn't take long to go through the four portages and arrive near the channel leading into Lost Bay. We looked at a few sites and settled on ZS. This site allowed us to spread out a bit and give my nephew some distance away from all the snoring some of us did. I'm guilty of that.

The camp was set up, water and wood collected and relaxing began. The mood of the group was upbeat. That night we heard an alpha wolf howling in the distance. A few others chimed in occasionally. That was awesome to hear.

Single portage. Me carrying my pack and canoe.
