Granite River Trip
by Nick2890
We woke up and wanted to take a layover day, but Nicole decided we should travel a little closer to the exit point. I packed up while she cooked a quick breakfast and we headed to Camper's Island. We got to the Island by Lunch and by this time the temperature was into the 80's. After a quick lunch of gorp and sandwiches, we decided that now was as good a time as any to jump in to Sag for a little skinny dippin'. The water felt awesome and very relaxing.
We explored the island and found that our site on the southern most point of the island was giant. There were 2 firepits about 30 feet apart and room for atleast 6 tents. We helped a group of 8 very tired ladies (around 8pm) find a campsite on the island. They were in there 40's with 3 in their 60's and paddling very heavy aluminum canoes. Nicole and I played cards and headed to bed. Hot day but restful. 1.5 miles and no portages. Saganaga Lake.
