Quetico 2025, 10 Days of (Mostly) Solitude
by TrailZen
We had another shower around 2:30 this morning, but the day dawned nice and sunny. Our plan for the day was to move down Agnes and check out several pictograph sites, then perhaps move on into Silence for the evening. Agnes had some breeze as we left the wonderful campsite, and the breeze picked up as we paddled. We saw a solo paddler across the lake this morning—the first person we've seen since passing the couple on the Falls Chain portage on Day 4. About 3.5 miles down Agnes we turned east below the largest of Agnes' islands and spotted a nice site on the island tip—that may be home for the night if no one grabs it before we get back (like that's been an issue this trip!). There was a picto site on the island south of us, and we were very pleased with the display: bear, canoes, hand smears, and more. We found the first picto site in the east arm, but even with a couple passes couldn't find the second one. We returned to the nice site on the tip of Anges' big island and claimed it for the night, even though it was only 1:00 when we returned. We sat outside the tent playing Farkle and reading Patrick McManus until time to work on dinner, then early to bed.
