I was way ahead of schedule and considered slowly making my way back to Iron to grab that 5 star site and enjoy a full day of Iron Lake fishing but instead opted to stay on Sunday Lake. I like to travel but layover days are nice, especially when you have a whole lake and the surrounding wilderness to yourself! I swam, I caught fish after fish, did a little exploring and even considered trying to find the trail that used to exist between Sunday lake and Sunday bay of Crooked Lake. I always thought it would be fun to reestablish that route if I ever had the time. But the bugs were pretty thick this year and being deep in the woods bushwhacking sounded a little silly when I really thought about it.  Fish tacos again for dinner and a nice fire to end the night. Perfect weather for my time in the Sundial PMA.
