We started late (3pm) on Friday at the Devil's Lake, portaged with a small detour on Sheldon Lake and headed South for the portage that would take us to Scrabble Lake. Well, we couldn't find it, black flies were happily biting,our patience limited since we were running late so we turned back and camped on a small peninsula on the North side of the lake.
Saturday morning started very good. Sunny but not very warm, insect activity still low, pleasant feeling to be outside.
We decided to do a day trip to Wolf Lake, going through Cooney Lake, Peter's pond and Victoria Lake. By the time we came back we became very efficient at portaging fast, avoiding the bugs as much as possible.
In the afternoon it started to rain but after few hours we got a break until 9pm when the rain was on and off again.
Sunday morning was so cold and windy that the bugs were hiding away. We felt free at last, although a bit cold. We took our time having breakfast and packing up.
The rain was holding off and we had a record time of returning to the dock on Devil's Lake.
Another experience in QEII Wildlands, where the plans don't always succeed.
Happy trails!
