Sunday, June 15, 2025 MARK: Began with a miserable portage over 1 mile long. Did 4 portages total tofay saw saw 5 waterfalls. Seen multiple bald eagles, beavers, and swans. I caught 2 pike and Lily caught 1 pike and 1 small mouth that we ate for dinner along with rice and mac+cheese. Our second campsite is awesome! We ended the evening by seeing a bull moose swim across the lake right near our camp.

LILY:We got up early because of the sun this morning. I slept like $h!t. The air mattress didn't hold air and we slept on a rock slab. Breakfast was good. We had spam, eggs, and toast. The first portage was terrible!!! It says that it is 1 mile but is definitely longer. Anddd we double portaged it so we walked it 3 times. It took like 2 hours and i thought i was gonna pass out. After that we had 3 more portages that weren't too bad and all had pretty views of the falls. We saw a dead nasty moose a the top of one fall in the water. It was swelled and stunk so bad. We decided after the long day of porting to find camp on crooked lake. We passed the pictographs. They were really cool! Once we found a camp we slowly set up and unpack. Me and dad floated around and fished while Montana stayed at camp and got wood ready. I caught a pike and dont care to ever catch one again. I also caught a small mouth that we had for dinner with mac+cheese and broccoli rice. Its was really good. I think I fixed the air mattress (fingers crossed). The toilets are so weird bugs everywhere. We are planning on staying here tomorrow also and fishing and taking it easy tomorrow. As I am literally writing this a moose crossed the lake a little ways to the right of us! It was awesome! I sat my hammock up and hope to read some tomorrow and relax. Still really really sore but having a great time! Oh yeah I have now been to Canada! (On portages)

MONTANA: Grass pad mattress=best sleep ever. Felt like Fess Parker teaching Jemima about getting last in the woods and Israel about navigation. The falls into crooked lake I want to shoot the rapids. I know a girl that has more sand than a golf course.
