Friday, August 18, 2023 Day Two was pretty much uneventful. We had a leisurely breakfast, tried a bit of fishing with no luck. Made and ate a big lunch. I was awoken from my afternoon nap by the arrival of two rangers; they just wanted to check fishing licenses, trash and alcohol plans. With their encouragement we tried a bit more fishing. Almost gave up and decided to check out the portage for tomorrow to be sure we could find it easily since we’d have a long day; then Ali caught a northern pike! They aren’t the best eating (lots of little bones), but we cooked and ate it and did our best to bury the guts and bones away from the water and camp.

Best advice of the trip, response to saying we had been lost a couple of times: "Were you really lost or just a little confused about where you were?"

Night Two: Either the wolves were quiet or we slept through them.
