QEII Wildlands 24-25 May

 Another lesson in QEII Wildlands. I started out to camp on Clear Lake, knowing that it's not going to be crowded. And there is a good reason for that.
 After crossing Head Lake, portaging into Fishog Lake and portaging the short 90m into a small pond I was looking for the difficult 290m portage toward Red Boat Lake. I couldn't find it. Instead I found a way to a dead end pond East to the actual portage.
 Being pretty late in the day ( I started unusually late) and feeling out of shape I decided to turn back to Fishog. I found a windy site on the big island in the center of the lake (it looks like a peninsula on the map).

 The mosquitoes and black flies are out and biting, so the wind was really helping.
 Not having much to do around the campsite, I bushwhacked around for awhile and in the process I startled a duck. It was nesting close to shore.

 The sun was going down and I saw this bush, living on the edge.

 Whip-poor-wills sang the whole night but I slept good nonetheless. I could say that this is one of the reasons I come back to this park.
 Next day I woke up to a beautiful sunrise.

 I will have to prepare more seriously, if I want to get any deeper into this park.

Cheers,
Adrian
