Monday, July 11, 2022 Good - Indiana - Good The Tooth Fairy found a way to Levi's backpack last night...
Woke up this morning and everyone is feeling pretty tired. We decided to take a layover day since the sky is looking like rain. After breakfast and hanging around camp for a while relaxing, then lunch, we decided to go for a paddle and portage over to Indiana Lake. (Since we are all from the great state of Indiana, it only seems proper to visit the lake named after our home state.) Since we are travelling light, the paddle and portage into Indiana seems to go by very easily. We catch a few northern pike on Good before getting to the portage. The portage is pretty muddy and buggy today, probably due to all the recent rain.

It is a pretty easy portage, up then down. Levi and I talked about how we missed Mom and how we hope she's having fun without us at home. Once on Indiana, the wind picks up quite a bit. Everyone don's their PFD and we begin to fish Indiana. The water is amazingly clear, and the bass are on fire. After getting blown around by the wind for a while and catching our share of bass, we decide to head back to camp.

As we paddle back across Good, Levi picks up a nice Walleye in the narrows of Good.
Once back to camp, we spend some more time relaxing, journaling, and then make dinner. We have fish, and make our version of pizza. (Tortilla's with tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni) Tonight we eat like Kings!
Everyone enjoyed our relaxing day today, ready to get some sleep so we can make our way up to Basswood tomorrow.
