Our goal today was to get to Kekekabic. Portages were alright, and our second encounter with the USFS rangers was at the Strup -> Kekekabic portage after seeing them breaking camp at a bluff campsite on Wisini.

We got to Kekekabic around 1:00pm and started looking for a site. An east wind picked up and made paddling a slog as we went east down the length of the lake looking for a campsite. Every site was taken by basecampers until we reached the far eastern end of the lake at campsite 1425. Campsite was low quality and we had to pitch the tent on a slope.

All of the basecampers appeared to be fishbros in groups of 4+ and their presence created a campsite desert on Kekekabic.
