Dad's Journal
Rain last night, started on the water at 10. We saw a dad with his family and talked with him for a while. He is going on the exact same path. He said Iron lake open site would be hard to find, so we changed our route a bit. We setup camp early and will paddle thru iron lake tomorrow. Caught some fish trolling today. We were very tired today, after just a few hours of paddling.
Daughter's Journal
Half way thru our trip we didn't move very far today, but we made progress without getting lost. It really is nice out here. It doesn't feel like we are camping. Going without electronics hasn't been bad but I really do miss some TV. I can't wait to take a real shower. We did take it pretty easy today. It's nice and we got the radio to work. Weather has been so nice, last night we had a thunderstorm. It wasn't crazy raining or anything but there was lots of lightning and thunder. Oh I actually finished a 330 page book in six days, which is crazy for me. Anyways, things are pretty great except the toilet. Nothin beats 75-80 degrees in a hammock with some radio and nature sounds. Dad's a good cook too.
Late start in the day. We had a hard time getting back to rigors of paddling. Not many miles traveled, but we were exhausted and by the time we got to Sunday Bay, we were ready to setup up camp.
