General:
Got up early and ate breakfast quickly in order to get an early start. We wanted Steve & Sean to get out on the open water paddle to Chippewa Harbor in the calmest conditions possible. Don and Dan hiked the 10.5 miles to Chippewa Harbor. Steve & Sean arrived within 3 hours, Don and Dan within 7 hours. Short nap then Don & Steve went fishing and Sean and Dan sat around & talked...then rustled up wood for a fish cooking fire. No fish so we cooked and ate dinner. Hiked about .6 miles to Lake Mason to look for Moose at dusk...none seen. Headed back to camp and bed by about 9.
Dan:
Our hike to Chippewa Harbor was quite a push. Don and I didn't talk at all. I was thinking about what the Ranger on the Ranger III said about being quiet to maximize your chances of seeing wildlife. We took quick break for food at Moskey Basin, broke again at the Lake Richie turnoff, again at the S. Lake Richie Portage, and once more just past the Chippewa Harbor portage about .75 miles to camp. Pretty tired coming into camp, but my new boots worked quite well...no hot spots on my feet, just generally tired from a 7 hour effort. Enjoyed good conversation with Sean, and a visit from a Ranger giving me the tip to head out to Lake Mason at dusk and dawn in hopes of seeing Moose.
