Solo trip Day 2


Up early this morning before the sun comes up. Got to get off this big water before it blows up again. Packing up with the head lamp on, no time for coffee this A.M.

By 8:00A.M. I'm at the portage at the bottom of Smoothwater Lk. The first portage of the trip 815m. of boulders and ups and downs goes into Apex Lake. The next portage 1170m. was flat and well kept, actually made good time here. The whole chain from the bottom of Smoothwater to the top of Mihell Lake took until 4:00P.M. , I figure about 11km. of portages (3 trips each portage) and the paddling in between. Finally took the boat into Mihell for the morning and stayed at the campsite at the south end of McCulloch Lk. Large and spacious. Didn't take long to get to sleep this night either.
