Dad's Journal
Caught up on sleep. Caught several small fish. This is a good lake, isolated, loons, wolves, beaver.. and I assume grown up fish. Hard to believe only two more days. Daughter is getting excited to return to civilization. Full day tomorrow.
Daughter's Journal
Today was a chill day, our 2nd day off. We knew it wouldn't be great weather so we planned it. It hasn't been a big storm yet but some drizzle all day. Pretty bummed we couldn't catch fish today. Dad was mad he lost his hat today. So that's a pair of shorts and a hat he lost. He keeps saying, so much for leave no trace. I feel bad, we wanted this to be a perfect trip and i think he did pretty darn good. We only have 2 more days, well pretty much a day and a half. But as much as I don't want it to end, i do miss technology. And as I'm writing this the storm is rolling in. It's crazy you can hear the wind coming a minute before it even gets to you because of the trees. And the sky turns black pretty quick. Hopefully this storm won't be too bad tonight. We have a ways to go tomorrow. So far, a great trip.
Baby small mouth, loons and beaver kept us company as we rested and enjoyed the day.
