Tuesday, September 11, 2012 I denied Mom her pancake breakfast again. I decided we should leave early again in case of wind. We are in the burn zone again, but it seemed faster this time. The asters are still blooming and there was an abundance of wild geranium and dicentra. More and more people appeared on the portages. The sites began filling up on Lake Three, and even on Lake Two so we decided to make a last ditch effort to find a site on Lake One. Success! We were able to snag another island site with rocky outcrops all around. We tucked our tents in a cozy spot away from the fire nestled amongst boulders and towering red pines with a view of the north sky and some rocky islets.

Definitely a little bite in the air today and we saw many flocks of geese heading south. The fire pit area boasted an incredible view of the sky and we watched a fireball leave a bright streak across the sky! ~Insula, Lake, Hudson Lake
