Tuesday, August 08, 2023 Got up early and had cold coffee and bars again. At the 160r portage into Vee by 7 am, which is on the wrong side of the creek on mackenzie maps. Not hard at all compared to yesterday. Then the 80r into Fee, which has a lovely campsite that again is not on my map. A 40r jump into Hoe had us there by maybe 1030. The site is very acceptable, several decent tent pads although not many options if you use a hammock or need to hang a pack. Got camp set up and headed over to check out the edge of the Mugwump PMA.

Mayway was easy to access, just down a channel full of lilypads. Cookosh was a pull over at a beaver dam, and so pretty, with high cliffs and white pines. We went back to Mayway to see if we could find the old portage to Amimi...which on my map DOES have a campsite (LOL). Found the old portage and were able to follow it to Amimi. You could get a canoe through, but you'd be dealing with some serious muck before you hit open water. I did lay down a portage track on OSM. There was a cool cliff down the lake with a wolf spider as long as a dollar bill.

Paddled back to camp, chased by rain clouds that have now caught up to us. Lots of thunder but no lightning here. It's raining but we're dry under the tarp. Got dinner done and ate and then the sky opened up...torrential sideways rain and wind. Headed off to bed early. The tent did drip around one of the vents in the fly, but nothing major.
