Up at 530am. Slept well. Made breakfast.

Plan is to shoot for Kawaschong maybe Square. Either should make for an easy exit.

Unfortunately Kawaschong and Square were full. So I pressed on to Kawishiwi lake. After looking at a few open sites I took the "4" star site on the east side. I'd call it 2.5 star.

Took 5 hours and 5 minutes to get here. Departed my campsite on Malberg at 715am. 12.5 miles or so.

As far as I know I was the only one headed south. I had 4 groups headed north. Portages are still flooded, but water levels have come down some. The BIG beaver dam didn't have as much water spilling over its top. Still only 2 beaver damn pull overs. I do love paddling River systems like the Kawishiwi.

I guess the good thing about being on this lake, is it will only take me about 5 minutes to paddle to the exit. I wonder if I can order Uber eats.

Time to eat, rehydrate, and take a bath. Not necessarily in that order. I'll fish this evening after dinner.

Sitting at camp in my camp chair this afternoon and I had a rabbit walk right up to me and go under my chair. Obviously accustomed to humans invading its home. All I could think about was Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail and the White Killer Rabbit, the Holy Handgrande of Antioch. "The count shall be no more than three". Classic!

Dinner tonight Wild Zora Mountain Beef Stew. And it's delicious and some chocolate covered cashews. It's 5pm, I'll wait a bit before heading out to fish.

Got skunked. Admittedly I didn't try very hard. I'm tired. Now it's time for a night cap before the mosquitoes come out in force.

It's going to feel weird exiting tomorrow without having to portage and the exit so close.

In bed by 830pm.
