Day 2 was a much more relaxing day. After all, we had earned it by pushing so hard at the end of day 1. Breakfast was pre-cooked bacon and pancakes and somehow my guys were able to get a fire going with the wet wood that would go on to burn until we left the next morning (28 hours). #1715 proved to be a great site! It lies on a corner so we had about a 270 degree view of the lake. The positioning of the fire grate forces you to look out over the lake which is where people were for most of the day. We were all very happy to welcome the sun as we had not seen him at all the day previous. After breakfast, a few of us went out on a fishing excursion into the most northern part of Gabbro where we came upon a marshy area filled with lily pads. We were very successful at having fun and enjoying the scenery and were very unsuccessful at catching fish. We had 1 bite the whole time but it was a fun little paddle back into the marsh. A few people would return to this spot the next day for morning fishing (and would catch a fish!) and to possibly spot a moose in the more remote area (they did not). We arrived back at site right when it started to rain (nice!) and reconnected with the other group. They had been resting and drying out loads of firewood while we were gone. We were going to head back out to do some walleye fishing but decided against it in favor of hanging out near the fire. After some reading, resting, and lively talk we realized that there were 2 golden eagles posted up near our site. We stood and watched them while my buddy was getting some pictures of them on his fancy camera. After they took off we started up on dinner which was some pasta with red sauce and fried spam. This meal, rightly, seemed to be the group favorite although I preferred the bacon and pancakes. After dinner we sat near the fire and laughed and told stories which is always something I love to do. One of my guys brought his homemade blueberry mead which was a great addition to the night. A few of us chatted until 1:00 AM at which point we retired.
