After a great breakfast at home we got our gear out to Longpoint Lake and drove both vehicles back to Gowganda. Took the car back to Longpoint and left it at Poplar Point Camp.
On our way on a dreary looking Sunday we headed north up Longpoint Lake about 7 km. before we stopped for lunch on a bed of boulders and even some poison Ivy which I have never seen up here before. Daniel spotted it almost right away as he as well as I just have to look at it to get it.
After lunch a couple of kms. of shallows and with the high water they were no trouble. Into Mooseheart Lake and then into Eagle Lake where there is a cabin. At the top end of Eagle our first portage, went well, about 450m. Finally into Shillington where we found a nice campsite about half way up the lake. All together about 13km. the rain had stopped and it remained cloudy.
Finally got all the gear out, tents ups and started to gather firewood. Had a great steak and potatoe supper.
Everything went well, the gear was all there, paddling went well, portaging good, good supper and into the tents by 9:00pm.
By the way Brian is my brother in law, Sam is his son and Daniel a friend of Sam.
Not much room for a couple of tents, but there was a good firepit and a table.

Don't mess with the chef
What it's all about.
Fooling around with some off camera flashes.

Hey, that campsite looks familier, I'll have to dig out the picture from Jr. Rangers...I can't remember where it was but there was about a 4-5 foot drop off to the lake on the other side of the fire pit.
