Journal Entry Day 2: We get out on the upper lake and start our journey across the main lake heading up the Big Beaver Arm.
We check out the shore looking for campgrounds. Here's a place we returned to for firewood later.
Here's some of that wood we came back for later.
We find another cache farther up shore. No we wer,nt being attaked by a marmot, that's Dave's wooly head in the foreground.
Camp sweet camp.
The Beaver Arm of the lake is in a bay to the left of this picture.
Exploring the Big Beaver River. Since the portage is considerable we may have been one of the first boats ever up this river.

The Minnesota III on a trail during the return portage from the Big Beaver river. For days trips we just put the third seat back in this boat and all 3 of us paddled it, leaving the kayak back at camp. Weighing less than 50 pounds empty and with a tremendous carrying capacity this boat served our needs very well. She proved dry in the lake's chop and Dave even attracted a few elusive fish while fishing from the middle seat.
