Day 5 of 6
Saturday, July 10, 2021 Slept in a bit this morning, mainly because I was dreading the portage back to Hula and then Wood. Our trip back to Wood went as smooth as it could and before we knew it we were once again fishing our way to the next campsite. We pulled into the camp closest to the Hula portage around noon. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The group before us had discarded their fish remains 10 feet off shore right in line with the canoe landing, trash had been left throughout the camp. It didn't take long before we seen our first of many GIANT snapping turtles. Normally I wouldn't be too concerned about a turtle, but we had an extremely curious German Shepard to keep track of. As the smoke from the Canadian wildfires blew in, we enjoyed our last night fishing and admired a small halo of stars once it got dark.
