Boundary Waters Part 2

On the Water Day 1

Here is our campsite on our first night. It may not have been my favorite, but I was so happy to see it. We got dropped off by the outfitters in our least favorite Seagull lake. It's not our favorite because Matt and I got us REAL lost on this lake two years ago. This year we had a plan and made is successfully across this lake without incident. (The lack of wind may have helped) We did out first portage successfully. From there we ate lunch at our previous night 1 campsite and continued paddling and portaging three more times. Then we started looking for a campsite, but we start out picky. "Oh, it's too small", "Oh, the bugs will be bad here" but then every campsite we wanted was taken! AHH...if this last one isn't open we have to do two more portages until we get to the next campsite and it's already 6:00PM! So you can say we were very happy to stop for the day and set up camp.
And here I am with fellow group members in our awesome sunglasses. On the drive up Matt needed sunglasses and we found these amazing neon, plaid glasses! So Stacy and I convinced most of our group to buy them. I think we look pretty amazing. (We are also pretty sure these glasses have powers!)

Millage Estimate: 11 miles! Portage Count: 4!
