Woke up to sunny day, a pretty good breeze already blowing early. In fact, the wind would stay pretty constant at 10 – 15 mph for the next several days. Kept the bugs away for the most part but made for tougher fishing. We spent the day exploring, fishing, setting up a little more at camp getting our gear under the tarp as rain was being predicted in the next few days. Just enjoyed the quiet time, just the three of us talking about life, one son already a dad to a 3 year old and the second son looking forward to becoming a dad in the fall. It was great to look at them cutting firewood, making the meals, doing needed chores without being asked, joking around and chatting about anything and everything! THIS is what BWCA and the Q is all about, in my humble opinion. My mind raced back to my first trip with my Dad and my older brother in 1972.
