NW and I go to Knife Lake, 6-19-2013

NW and I paddled and portaged 10 miles to Knife lake and found ourselves camping on the east end of Robbins Island. We relaxed in camp after our big day.  We drank coffee, snacked and napped.  We had mac and cheese for supper.  That evening we played cribbage and I won by a hair.  The Spring Peepers and Loons serenaded us most of the evening. It rained and sprinkled later in the evening and Chloe came into the tent late all wet and muddy.   The next morning we had pancakes and headed for Thunder Point.  It rained and sprinkled off and on all day.  Our hiking was cut short on Thunder Point because we were afraid we would be caught in a down pour.  Didn't happen.  That evening I sat by the lake watching it get dark.  It was a beautiful cool evening.  At 8:45 a group of nine girls paddled by looking for a campsite.    They must of had a very big day.  Chloe snuggled under my bag trying to get warm and sleep after a big day.  I was tired too.  I could hear our noisy neighbors.  On our third morning NW cooked bacon, eggs and bagels.  I washed dishes and we were ready for the day by 8:30.  It was cool and sprinkled like it has for the last 12 hours.   We relaxed for the remainder of the morning and then fished and toured The Isle of Pines where Dorothy Molter used to live.  All her cabins have been removed but there are some of her flowers still growing.  I was glad we didn't have the extreme heat I had the previous week.  It was a pleasant paddle out to civilization.  It was a good trip.
