Island Lake


  Island Lake...we really lucked out last week-end on our canoe trip.
  By the time we went past the hunting cabin on Farm Creek, dark clouds were looming around us; we could hear thunder in the distance.
  We made it to a camp site on Island Lake without any rain. We could see all kind of active weather around us. Not a drop till the next morning, but even then it didn't last.
               Signs of wildlife...
               Second day... too bad we had to return.
              Farm Creek, nice place to paddle.
  Four portages and six beaver dams later, we are about to reach Wahwashkesh Lake. Of course the big lake was windy so we used the Indian Portage to cut some distance. We took a last break on the beautiful sandy beach. Now back to the city life!!! but I really like the simplicity of the backcountry tripping.
