Adirondacks Day #3

Last night I got the best sleep I've gotten in a long time. The soft sound of peepers and wind blowing through the trees lulled me to sleep and, for the first time on these trips, the temperature remained above 45° all night, keeping me toasty and fast asleep. Ellie and I slept for nearly 12 hours and only woke up at 9:30 because a bird had flown into a tree directly above our shelter and was making a ton of noise.

One of the fishing rigs we built last night got a bite, but the fish got away and we were instead left with an extremely tangled line, oh well. We spent a large part of the morning building a fire and purifying water. We had a large pot of oatmeal with craisins, raisins and almonds for brunch, which was quite tasty.

We spent almost the rest of our day in the middle of the lake in our kayaks because the flies don't bother us as much out there. For a late lunch/early dinner we built another fire and cooked baked potatos in it's coals, which turned out quite well. 

Now we are going to try to pack some of our stuff up to get ready for tomorrow's early departure. So long!
