We slept in! Usually not the case, but neither of us left the tent until after 9am. Gotta say, life away from the chaos and business of work, kids, and just busy life can defiantly be refreshing. We made some breakfast, had some instant coffee, and stared at the lake until we finally fished around noon. This is very unlike us, as we usually wake up and fish early, cut wood for fires, and fix up camp before noon. A super lazy and slow morning was fantastic. The afternoon was not busy either, just some fishing in the sun! Again, slow fishing, better towards the evening, but nothing to brag about. Dinner was brats over the fire, one of the easiest BWCA meals there is. Stars were amazing, but later found out we didn’t see the amazing northern lights that were present since we faced the wrong direction.
