We decided to pack up and head to Moose Lake and hopefully call Adam from Snowbank Lodge to help us by picking us up and bringing Brad back to Snowbank.
I got up to see a glorious sunrise, pump some fresh water
for our planned paddle, scare Nate into thinking there was a bear in our camp & enjoy some delicious service berry pancakes and reconstituted maple syrup.
We got everything packed up and noticed Micah was not feeling well so got him some Benadryl and pain meds. We paddled the rest of Ensign to a super simple portage around a little rapids are we didn’t even have to use portage pads. We got to a second portage into Newfound Lake that was only about 40 rods… we felt invincible! Micah quickly started looking worse so we stopped for a
break to let him rest. He slept about an hour in the hammock. Brad got a hold of Adam at Snowbank and our plan worked!
We paddled the last bit of Newfound Lake and got into Moose Lake. We saw lots of loons, eagles, geese and beautiful trees. We landed our canoes and portaged them up the hill. Then we waited for Adam who happened to have canoe trailer and hauled our 4 canoes, Brad and Nate back to Snowbank! What a gift. The kids and I hung out at the Moose Lake landing and were silly. Osten, Natalie and Micah are pretty amazing kids.
It started raining and we were happy to get back to the cabin. We went to bed early and heard a pretty strong storm while safely in a home—thankful we weren’t camping in a tent.
