Tuesday, June 16, 2020 Slept in a little bit this morning. So much so we missed the 8am time to turn on the sat phone for family to call just in case we were needed. Day was going to be warm, weather channel on the radio called it later at 92 degrees. Called the wife later in the day to check in, all was good back home. Played cards and hiked the portage to Heritage just to look it over. A well worn portage and would have been fairly easy to take, but with only one site at the far end of the lake, we decided not to break camp and move. A few HUGE trees were fun to look at, maybe 100 year old trees, but certainly the largest we had ever seen. Great to be in nature and see this kind of stuff. The quiet of the woods, hearing the wind in the tree tops, stopping to look into the forest and yet actually seeing the trees is real powerful medicine. Dinner back at camp, cards played for a while, enjoyed the campfire and the talk before I turned in as the boys stayed up another hour or more. So blessed my boys are also friends!
