Got a late start as I slept in till 0545 so I didnt hit the water until a late 0650...grin

Louisa-Agnes portage going south is a fan favorite especially when it is wet from an all day rain. I took my time and was happy to make it down with the canoe intact.

The portages into and out of Meadow were easier than I remembered and there on the trail was a blessing from the Lord above someone had dropped half of a roll of TP in a zip lock bag. Yes!!!!! One of my biggest fears had been eased.

After 5:15 minutes of travel I pulled into my site for night 4 on the point, next to the island on Basswood leaving me with only a small paddle into PP in the morning to meet my tow.

Day 4 was a day to relax, read, take a nap and dry everything out from yesterdays rain filled day.

My last night in the Q did not dissapoint as I was given this beautiful sunset to close out the day.
