Saturday, October 06, 2018 Awoke to a light sprinkle but warmer morning in the upper 30's. Ate, packed up and was on the water at 9:30. Headed south with a light N wind at my back to the easy, and very colorful 45r portage to Jasper lake. I saw what looked like a pine marten running around the camp site before the Kingfisher portage, but when I got closer I couldn't see anymore a the site is high up off the water. A easy 25r portage onto Kingfisher lake and then the 38r to Ogishkemuncie was another easy portage with good landings. The paddle down Ogish was quiet and beautiful, with its big hills blazing with fall colors. I did see a canoe and smoke coming up from a camp site on the west end of the lake. A quick 15r to Annie lake where some busy beavers work had raised to lake level a couple feet since the last time I was though here several years ago. The higher water levels had killed all the trees that were now under the waterline all the way around the lake. Now back out of the burn area it was a whole different look from the last couple of day. did another quick, wet 15r onto Jenny lake, where I paddled to the NE end of the lake where I found the only site unoccupied, kicking up dozens of ducks along the way. My last time to Jenny I had fond memories of this little lake. My wife and I had seen a nesting loon on the island and had some real good luck catching nice bass and northern pike. And so I had plans all along to camp here. The camp site#2034 was nice, but not much for tent pads. Luckily I only have a 1 man and found a nice spot close to the water edge. Only 3hr 20min travel today, but I don't have to be anywhere so whats the rush. I putzed around the rest of the gray, drizzly afternoon and evening. Did some more reading and listening to the radio.
