Friday, July 11, 2025 Awoke to every muscle in body in protest. Coffee, breakfast and we hoped to make it to Beartrap for a 2 night stay. This would mean a 63 rod portage to Home and then a 272 rod to Gull, then turn north for a the 43 to Mudhole and 60 to Thunder. Well, still half dead from the preceding day, we finished the 272 into Gull, needing to not go on and it looked like a storm was threatening. Lake was empty save for us and we crossed over to campsite 1888. This is a lovely 4 star facing south. Multiple tent pads, no widow makers, and fairly well protected from wind. With weather evidently on the way, we set up camp an had and early dinner. Did make a fire and were relaxing when the storm came at about 530 pm. We retreated into our tent (which still had no vestibules and strung a tarp tightly down over us. It was a severe and long storm and we did not emerge from our tent until almost 630 am to a beautiful day. PIc is the storm coming in
