Even though it had rained overnight, the tents were dry, which was great. As usual, we were up and out early. There was little wind so that made paddling easy. The portages on either side of Muskeg were tricky. Luckily, the steep hill from Kiskadinna into Muskeg was down for us—glad we weren’t going the other direction! The Muskeg-to-Long Island portage is through a bunch of floating grasses, which was cool, but then we struggled to find the portage because there is a beaver dam on top of it. Once we navigated the beaver dam, the portage was difficult due to lots of big rocks which made footing hard. Luckily, we all made it through with no sprained ankles. We checked out site 586, which was nice, but we wanted to look at site 585 on the island first. We liked 585 better and settled there. The afternoon was quite sunny, so we swam and on the north side of the island found a great rock to jump from, which was a blast. The evening was cloudless, but we didn’t see a sun set since the trees on the peninsula to the west blocked the view. We were able to stay up and see unlimited stars which was fantastic.
