Day 7 of 8
Thursday, August 20, 2020 Enjoyed a beautiful sunrise, brushed my teeth, and headed for the latrine. Of course I saw a black figure in the distance, it was occupied. I headed back for camp to start packing. Others in our group awoke and better timing on latrine usage. By the time I got to back to the latrine I could hear the group loading the canoes and heading off for another day of paddling. I had quite a nice view of them paddling away from my latrine view. We had coffee and breakfast and broke camp around 745 am. We caught up with the other group around Beartrack they seemed to be doing fine. We met one other group that had recently paddled through Fat Lake and reported the campsite was open at that time. We continued on and made it to Fat Lake around 11am. We had a wonderful day swimming and fishing on Fat. Only managed to land two lake trout but had a good time. Did catch yet another wonderful sunset. The stargazing was top notch that evening. One of our comrades tried to sleep on the giant rock centerpiece of this site but didn't want the mice to sleep with him so retreated to the tent.
