Dad's Journal
Whew, we made up some ground today. Traveled about 11 miles across a lot of big water, Lac la Croix. Great Indian pictographs and Warrior Hill. We broke camp at 7 and paddled until 2. Saw another eagle overhead. Camped next to the family of 9 we met a few days ago. Early starts seem to work out well for us.
We made up some miles today. It kinda stinks we ask for directions all the dang time but it beats getting lost. I feel bad cause I always second guess dad's directions and map reading skills. I just really don't want to get lost again. Eventually it should be getting easier to tell which way to go. I swear the mosquitoes are going to be the death of me. After a week, their stupid humming is driving me insane. If i never see a mosquito again it will be too soon. It's bad i don't even want to take a shower, they are everywhere. Again beautiful weather and sunset. Not to shabby. Although I'm starting to think 12 days is too long.
We got an early start on the day and found that if we are on the water soon after sunrise, we have more energy and the day seems to go much smoother. We enjoyed the pictographs and Warrior Hill
