Loop from Snowbank to Lake 1
by spankatolla
– Gabe awoke an hour before me and watched a couple of loons swim by camp. Went for a quick troll of the islands east side to check out the lake conditions. No bites and lake was choppy. Went back to camp ate breakfast and packed up. Headed out and wind had picked up. Waves were crashing into the canoe and we could feel ourselves being pushed towards a huge cliff, in our attempt to miss the cliff we also missed the portage. Went back through huge waves and found the portage. As we got to Thomas, the wind kicked up and flipped the compass, I had laying on a map, into the water. Portage to Alice was long. As we reached Alice wind picked up again. Settled on site with SW view. No Wind!!! No fire due to wet wood. So set up camp, bathed, ate and slept.
