After 8 hrs of canoeing, 3 portages, and 15-20 knot winds, we made our campsite on Lake Manitou.

It’s beautiful…pristine…uninhabited. We mostly have the entire lake to ourselves. 

The Canadians are nazis about the environment…there were literally police at the drop off point to check for permits, etc.

At night all food goes into the trees to discourage the black bears ( there’s one bear per square mile here). I wonder how the Canadians worked that out?

   
Today we’ll relax, fish, eat, read and generally do whatever we want. Tomorrow we start back. As long as the wind cooperates it’ll be a long but decent run. If not…we’ll get home…eventually.
