MARK: Started the morning with an awesome breakfast of hash browns, bacon, and pancakes with strawberry in them coffee and Tang. Fished for a few hours and caught a couple pike. Was windy and hot. Ate dinner 4:30 and I am glad that we did. After showering and gathering firewood a storm rolled in and big thunder and lightning filled the sky . Everything is soaked however spirits are high as in the morning we plan on moving tomorrow back towards our entry point to give ourselves 3days to get back covering the same distance that we traveled in 2 days on our way in. This is a very nice campsite in comparison to our first one.

LILY: Much needed rest day today. Slept till about 8 then made pancakes, bacon, and hash browns for breakfast. It was really good! It sprinkled off and on all day. We fished all day on shore at camp and in the canoe a little ways away. Nobody caught a thing! Me and Dad both had a few big pike on but they got off. Sucked we didn't catch anything but still had a good time with dad. We took camp showers today... well me and Dad did and Tana just went for a swim in the lake. The shower felt surprisingly good and I even washed my super thick and long hair. We had chicken noodles and mashed potatoes for dinner that were pretty good especially since they came from a bag. We ate an early dinner and I am glad that we did because it started raining and storming and our camp was starting to flood in spots. I'm worried that rain water will get in the tent and that this weather will continue and be like this while traveling tomorrow. I have got to read alot today in the hammock. The mattress leaked air again last night. Hoping for another good nights rest and a nice day of travel tomorrow as we begin to head back toward Fall Lake and the 1 mile portage from hell! We are still at the same camp sit as we were yesterday.

MONTANA: Eat better in the wood than at home. Most people are clueless about life. Went for a swim water is great. Rain lightning thunder. Loved it
