Monday, August 28, 2023 Saganagons We had another sleep-in day and leisurely breakfast. The forecasted rain turned out to be occasional sprinkles. There was no downpour from the large clouds blowing around. Plenty of intermittent Sunshine. We tried a little fishing but didn’t get much. Mart caught a couple of smallmouths and let them go. While we were fishing, we saw the camp on the far shore was occupied. It was probably the people we saw go by the afternoon before. We then heard some distant thunder and decided to return to camp. Spent the afternoon doing camp chores. Or mostly sat around and wasted time. I did a little more fishing in the cove south of camp but got nothing. We had an early dinner and organized for a quick exit in the morning. It was going to be a long day and we wanted to get a jump on it. Then dinner with a salmon pasta dish that Mart had figured out. There was some rain during the night but nothing like the night on That Man Lake. We were doing good on the relaxation goal of the trip. That was to end tomorrow! People seen Zero but there was an occupied campsite observed across the lake. Too far to see anybody
