Day 7 of 16
Friday, August 01, 2025 Moving day- got up and had our coffee and some grits and got packed up. Made our way back through Gun and into Bullet. It's a pretty lake but ringed with bog and it sure had a healthy deer fly population! Saw a couple canoes on Gun, coming off the long portage from Wagosh with very loud boisterous young men. Almost a week into our trip and we've seen very few people. Every campsite we passed today was empty. We took the middle site on Moosecamp- another long, spread out and shady site. The site at the west end of the lake had no shade and looked like no one had stayed there in awhile.

This time we have a big open rocky porch area with an amazing view of the lake and fascinating rock formations. The best tent pad is separated from the rest of camp by 2 large boulders that leave just enough room for a "doorway". There are swans and coots, and a USGS marker from 1923 in the woods behind camp. Also a very calm little garter snake that let Jesse stroke it's head gently. We cut and split some wood for a fire....Jesse's back continues to improve slowly. A nice quiet day.
