I departed the twin Cities by eight in the morning to make it to my EP (Mudro) by around noon. I noticed in Ely it was still quite warm. After unloading the truck, I discovered I forgot my Keens and ther Crazy Creek back rest. The river leading to Mudro was predictably low and I had to get out and walk for a bit.

About two hours later I made it to Fourtown and settled on the north facing western site adjacent to Boot. I set up camp and prepared dinner of ribeye and mashed potato paired with some Driftless Glen bourbon. I stayed up until midnight or so and enjoyed a Northern Lights display.~
