After paddling over 60 miles in four days I was even more tired than yesterday morning. I again decided to basecamp and probably head in the next day. I had seen a lot on this trip and overall had a really good time. I decided to focus to day on catching some fish. I ended up getting a few northerns with a chatterbait but couldn't get a walleye. I paddled down the prarie portage to fish with some of the boats and then around ensign and Newfoundland. It was a good relaxing day and I only paddled around 6 miles.

The sunset that night was really nice. I stopped to take it in while hanging my bear bag.
