The site we got was not the one I wanted on this lake, but it was the one we got. However, after waking this morning I looked across the pond and noticed that the folks across the way were heading out and that was the site I wanted on this lake. So, unhappy as it made my companions I said "let's go check out that site". My canoe buddy jumped on the opportunity but my other two buddies were looking for him to dissuade me and let us go. So, across the way we went. The site had a glorious approach, was awesomely flat and best of all meant that the next morning would be an easy 5 min paddle to the next portage.

So, we paddled back and through glorious smile inducing eye rolls we packed up and went across for a relaxing day of swimming, swimming and relaxing.

Again, another site that wasn't too bad with mosquitoes was flat and had a good amount of pine needles to help start a fire.
