Woke up and got moving to find a “friend” had moved into our camp overnight. Fun to see nature doing their job, but we sure watched it to make sure it left us alone, as we returned the favor for her. We also made sure we did not step on these eggs the rest of the week. Spent the day exploring Lynx as the other paddlers had left mid-morning. Searched two of the sites, nice ones but not as nice as ours, in our thoughts. Lynx is a medium sized lake, round-ish and very clean, clear water, mostly catching smallmouth but they were pretty good sized at 3 pounds, very quiet lake even with others camping. The only complaint I have is the thunderbox was almost full! I mean we thought any trip to it would overflow it, but we were happy with each day this did NOT happen. We fished all day but mostly just to keep our hands busy as we enjoyed the warm weather and each others company. Wind was strong again, but not quite whitecaps. Had a nice fish for dinner. A little Hennessey and lemonade was a nice nightcap before watching the stars, satellites and shooting stars until midnight or so.
