Mark- Woke up to a light sprinkle. Got a fire going and got the food bag down. Had a coffee down when the others decided to wake up. Had a good breakfast of blueberry pancakes and spam. Left camp around 8am and arrived at the new site at 10am. This new site is only a few hours from our exit point. Wind was bad all day till an hour before sunset. Never left camp again today.

Lily- Woke up around 7am. We started packing up and I made blueberry pancakes and spam for breakfast. It sprinkled all morning but was never bad. We left camp a little before 9am and traveled only about 3/4 of a mile to a different site closer to the Mudro entry point. The site wasn't the best we've had but it's not bad. Me and Dad fished a little with no luck. Tana caught a smallmouth from bank. There is supposed to be an old resort near here that I want to go explore tomorrow if it's nice weather. We found a levy kind of looking thing that seems like something with when they logged up here. It was big piles of rocks that were spaced out like parking/loading spots and big logs with rods down the middle of the log holding it together. I saw a few old beer cans underwater in that area too. I found a pile of old glass bottle by the latrine. We had hashbrowns and Mountain House chicken and dumplings for dinner. It was very good. We invented a snack earlier of a tortilla wrap on the skillet with PB and a strawberry fruit leather. We named it an F'in PB. It was really yummy! Planning on fishing more soon since the wind and water are calmed down. It is still cloudy out and has not been warm our whole trip. We are probably going to spent our last 3 nights here so hopefully we can do some good fishing and relaxing before heading back to normal life.

Montana- While Jamimia is taking her daily nap, I think she is ready for more adventure. Fair weather morning. Another short travel day. Gray skies this afternoon. I would say the rocky shoreline full of pine and fur has to be better than almost anywhere.
