We truly enjoyed our time on Cummings and would have stayed another night were it not for the time it had taken us to get there alongside forecast high winds out of the SE. We broke camp and left our Cummings island site, paddling into the wind. Once back on the Korb River, we enjoyed a leisurely pace to Crab Lake, but the winds had picked up by the time we reached Crab Lake and going was tough for a time. Thankfully, we found another great campsite (#312) on an island in a sheltered bay and set up camp for our final afternoon and night.
