Campsite: #1662

Weather: AM 50s/PM lower 60s/overnight upper 40s, clear, winds 6mph @ 5:00 rising to 11mph early afternoon, NE winds unfavorable for Moose Lake travel based on past experience.

Comments: Windbound (rest day). Beginning early afternoon, heard many motor noises. Seemed too deep/powerful to be motorboats. Assumed seaplanes and concluded possible forest fire to the east. Decided to end trip early and exit to Moose Lake on the next day. Should have asked family via InReach to confirm but didn't.
