We enjoyed a beautiful misty morning. Neil took a photo of me cooking breakfast over the fire.

The sun made for some nice views from our island campsite.

It was a pleasant time paddling on Agnes Lake. We saw a mink on the shore at one point.

Ate our lunch at the portage from Agnes to Reid Lake. Neil had an idea that we could get to Reid and then portage over to Hurlbert, to Trant, and go down Kahshahpiwi. But we had trouble finding a portage out of Reid. We portaged into a little lake that had no outlet (at least none that we could find), then we portaged back into Reid. Found no obvious campsite so we made our own.

It was a gorgeous day all day, but it was obvious that a thunderstorm was brewing, so we were glad to have a camp set up. We endured more flies and mosquitoes than any time so far, and the weather did seem threatening. Temperature: 66 degrees.

I always love to find a wild iris in the spring. Some people call these "blue flags". They always seem more like purple to me.

We had a very noisy, windy, scary thunderstorm in the night. Even though a thunderstorm isn't fun--the whole "tent in the wilderness" setup doesn't feel like much protection--it is interesting to hear the thunder echo off the rocks and reverberate over and over as a storm is coming closer. We survived just fine.
