Burnt-Kelly-Jack-Weird-South Temperance-North Temperance 12 miles, 7 hours, 682 rods.

We woke up to clear skies and calm winds. Our plan was to head north and see what happens. The paddle through Kelly was very scenic with the clouds reflecting off of the lily pad water. We were passed up by a solo paddler, landoftheskytintedwater. He was the only person we would see on our paddle today, besides occupied campsites. We debating stopping on the Weird Lake campsite around 2 pm but decided to press on and take the southern site on S. Temp. It ended up being occupied so were pressed on to N. Temp. and took the southern site for the next two nights.
