Thursday, January 15, 2026 We set a new overnight low record: I recorded -19°F, and Brett -21°F. Despite the cold, I was comfortable and considered it a success. Winds shifted from the south, bringing snow and making it feel colder despite the warmer temperatures. We spent much of the day gathering firewood and avoiding the wind. Brett fished but had no luck. We hiked to the Lizz Lake portage to assess the trail for our exit, and it looked better than before. We also explored the possibility of a Caribou Lake ski route but found nothing maintained. The evening was relaxed as we packed what we could for a timely departure in the morning.
