Week two I done and week three is here! Sure nice to have accomplished all that we have on the lakes and now we look forward anxiously to the accomplishments we can make on the river, Tomorrow will be the last day on Missinabi Lake. This morning we had to say goodbye to our two day campground where we could look over Missinabi Lake and the beauty of the land we exist in this very moment. The royal throne was pretty cool too have too minus a few funny intrusions while it was being occupied. Everyone got a chance to freshen up and take time to themselves for the preparations this week has for us. The mile long portage is this week too and I think it will be an awesome challenge to tackle and the whitewater portages will be good too. Today we left on time and got moving pretty wll and even got to see some pictographs. The lunch break we had got us looking ahead and anticipating the increasing winds that were developing. Before we knew it we had some pretty good waves going out in the open water and with a on thought and well considered decision we were on our way again. The group felt the adrenaline rush as we zipped along to the campgrounds we had noticed on the map. After the waves hadn’t died down after a few hours, we decided to stay put and head into the campground since we couldn’t stay on the beach. I think everyone was happy to get rid of their garbage and the running water. Tomorrow we technically will be at the mouth of the Missinabi River and the next leg of our journey begins!
