day one of adventure

Our goal was to be on the road at 7am and we were on the road at about 7:05am. We departed River Falls and were ready to put into Saganaga at 3:59pm. We hitched the canoe to the motor boat and started our journey to find our campsite on what we have affectionately named "Mouse Island". We found our four night home at about 5:04pm. A made a motion like a Sand Person from Star Wars declaring it our home away from home.

We set up the tent, had a dinner of mac and cheese, hotdogs and peas and snuggled onto our cozy cots and went to sleep. During the night, we had some visitors (hence the name mouse island).
