Mark- Lazy day at camp all day. Fished from shore a bit but wind was terrible. Off and on rain all day.

Lily- I woke up needing to pee. Had no clue what time it was. Explored for a little while and fish a little but with no luck. No one else was up yet and i got cold so i went back to bed for alittle bit. Me and Dad hung out in the tent until around 10am. I made oatmeal and Peanut butter honey wraps with some Crapolia granola for breakfast. We rested all day. It was windy and rained off and on all day which made it super cold out. It was in the 80's here some last week and this week its in the 40's some. :( I am really hoping that it starts to warm up some. We all fished some more with no luck. We have some neighbors staying in a site close to ours and we watched them catch a decent smallmouth which kinda of frustrated all of us. We were hoping for a fish dinner but settled for instant mash potatoes and Mountain House Beef Stroganoff and it was SO GOOD! Montana took a walk and found an old foundation with concrete slabs and a old fireplace. We hid from the cold in our tents a big chuck of the day. Tomorrow the plan is to move along Crooked Lake and into the day bays. I am nervous about the other 2 traveling even on calm water let alone choppy water and wind. Trying to stay optimistic about tomorrow and the rest of the trip.

Montana- Windy, wet, lets stay in camp. Burn ban was lifted but its to windy for a fire. Everyone tried to catch dinner with no luck yet getting close to store bought time.
