June 21---the solstice!

The rain fell throughout the evening on Sunday, so Monday morning, the Olson's had water in their tents. The Weaver-Olson's had great rainflies on their tents and also had tarps under their tents so were water tight. Good to know. 

Up and at em...planned a paddle to a portage to Paulsen Lake for Nate, Natalie and Karen and fishing for Brad, Micah and Osten. Anders spent the day sleeping off his readjustment to day activities from his overnight job and also his J & J vaccination. We hung around camp, ate lunch and then went on our journey. The waves were challenging but we found our way to the portage around 3 mile island to Paulsen Lake. We parted ways with the three of us doing a challenging hike to Paulsen Lake and Brad leaving with the boys for fishing. 

We completed the hike in about 2 hours and then started our paddle back to camp using a different route. We did get pretty lost and ended up almost getting back to the start of our journey at the Paulsen Lake hike. We were saved by two men camping at a site who set us straight as to our location. What a wonderful sight when we saw Osten jumping up and down on shore of our camp and we were safe and sound. I logged 28, 349 steps on this day which was twice the amount of any other day! It was a LONG day but unforgettable.
