Started out early on Wednesday at the bridge crossing the Montreal River on the Beauty Lake Rd. The sun was shining and the water calm. Into Lady Dufferin Lake where my dentist has a historical log cabin. Built in the early 1900's during the height of the logging era and used as a getaway and somewhat of a brothel for entertaining clients.
Moving further south past the park boundry and finally into the top end of Smoothwater Lake there is a gravel bar on the east side where I stopped for lunch. By the time I finished the wind had come up from the south pretty good. Some of the waves were breaking over the bow by the time I got half way down the west side of the lake. There was a peninusla there with a campsite on its southern edge. Not a very good one, looks as though it had recently had a good wind storm go through as there were several trees blown down. Not much room for the tent as a big tree covered the best spot. Lots of firewood laying around. After watching the moon come up it was lites out. I went about 13km. the first day.
