Today 39 for a low and 53 for a high. A few scattered showers today.

At day break it looks promising for a nice day. Fishing and camp area exploration are on the agenda today. Following a well-established trail to the North led us to the next campsite. We did some off road travel too, just not too far for fear of getting turned around. Fishing was not great, but we did snag a pair of northern for a meal. As the day progressed we made some more great catches. Two keeper walleye among them. It's going to be good eating tonight. I've never caught walleye before and I took the biggest at 18.5 inches.
