After what was probably the poorest sleep of the trip, we took a little extra time this morning to dry out our gear and clothes on the rocks and make a good breakfast. Camp bread, this time cooked on the Dragonfly made for a great meal to lift the spirits. Once the boats were packed up, we made our way towards Disappointment Lake. We had read that campsites could be difficult to come by, we were confident that our efficiency and speed would get us there in reasonable amount of time to try and snag one. Having already been to Cattyman Falls, we took a left turn on Cattyman and headed through Adventure, Jitterbug, and Ahsub. At the portage into Disappointment Lake there were a substantial number of people and we heard that most of the sites had been taken, so we made our way in to check all of the sites. The group ahead of us took a site that had recently been vacated, and so we headed on a zigzag path to get eyes on the sites on the lake. The southeast site in the narrows was open but the path up to it is treacherous and there were no good hammock hanging spots, so after a vote we decided to check the last couple left on the lake. Good fortune smiled on us again as the last site that we checked, the southernmost site that is not highly rated, happen to be open. It was definitely not the most picturesque site and had definitely been abused but it had good enough spots for us to pitch the tents and hang the hammocks so it was home.

Since this was the last night in the BWCA we were able to eat what we had left from the food stores and ate like kings. We bring enough food to last us even if we don't catch fish, but the two fish meals we did have left us with plenty of food for this meal. Chris went for a hike, and Jon and Sean went one way while James and I went another to fish in some perfect fishing weather. James and I crushed a ton of big smallies until the bugs chased us off the water and back to camp.

We capped off the evening with tea and some incredible stars and planets on a clear night. What a treat.
