For breakfast this morning Linda had yogurt. Annabelle and I had pop tarts. We portaged to Alton and planned on finding a campsite for lunch. We wanted to swim there. As we paddled around the lake, all the campsites were full. We stopped to snack for lunch and pump water on an island on the south end of the lake. I made a game time decision to stop when I saw the island. My butt had been killing me from sitting in the canoe and paddling for so long. Alton is a large lake.
There was a bit of wind on Alton so we stayed along the shoreline to avoid it as best we could. When we came back to camp, we ate noodles with chicken and stuffing for dinner. We celebrated my birthday a day early today with cinnamon apple crisp. Linda and Annabelle tried to start eating until I reminded them to sing “Happy Birthday” to me.
We saw a ton of dragonflies around the campfire around sunset tonight. It was much warmer tonight compared to other nights. They must have been feeding on the mosquitoes. Every other night we were here, it was much colder. The mosquitoes aren’t out when its cool at night. We did get a bit of rain too.
