6-25-07 I wake early and it’s a little cloudy but it’s calm. As each day passes my knee feels better and I want to see the picto’s so we can head to Iron Lake. However, I’m not sure how TCW will feel after last night’s incident, so I wait and around 6:30 am she starts stirring in the tent; I bring her a cup of coffee. She stick’s her head out the tent as I approach and starts laughing then we both start laughing and after a couple of minutes we talk about last nights events, and everything is all right. we head to the picto’s and find one set and take a few photo’s but can’t find the other picto’s so we head back to camp going through Never Fail bay and I see a cow and a calf far off but I’m not sure… then they disappear into the marsh since TCW didn’t confirm it, it didn’t happen. Once back, we start breaking down camp an hour later we’re on our way to the Bottle portage. As the minutes progress the wind pick’s up. We reach the portage and start across TCW doe’s one portage and I do two, on the way back from my second portage TCW is at the end telling me to get the camera and then she say’s that there’s a moose and a calf at the portage. I stop drop my gear and walk over to the lake and there she was about 20 yards away. By the time I got there the calf was in the forest. We took about 100 photos then we get in the canoe and paddle right by her, she didn’t have a care in the world. We head down to our destination, the site on the south side of the island near Peterson bay. We have a head wind the whole way and TCW is not a fan of the wind, she wonder’s why we can’t take one of the many site’s we pass by, I assure her it will be worth it ( I hope). When we reach the site it seems spectacular. I set up camp as TCW explores the island and finds a Blueberry bonanza, mmmmmmmm! Blueberry pancakes, after a couple of hour’s TCW admits it’s a beautiful place. I catch a bunch of smallies right off the campsite. At 9:30 pm three canoe’s come around the corner and are obviously disappointed that this site was taken. I don’t blame them; this is now one of my favorite campsites. 5 star’s all the way, a great view, good fishing and fantastic wildlife. I used my new axe TCW bought me for Christmas it’s a Gransfors small forest axe and it’s excellent, I never realized how nice a good axe is. While we hunt for firewood we also look for a good hanging tree and we discover two abandoned hanging lines, she say’s this isn’t a good sign, then I tell her that I read a thread just before we left that a big bear has been sighted in the area. She knew something was up because my diligence on hanging the food packs. Once again we fall asleep as the sun sets
