I got up at 6am and started my coffee, and our breakfast. We had camp broke and on the way about 8:15am. Short paddle to “Horse Portage”, a killer at 340 rods, just over a mile. It was 10 am by the time we got everything to the far end of the portage.

| Basswood Falls |
Fifteen minutes after we got back at it, it was time for another 30 rod portage. Another portage today was around Wheelbarrow and we stopped for lunch.

Our last portage (12 rods) of the day was in Canada around Lower Basswood Falls.

Following Lower Basswood Falls, we encounter our first Indian Pictographs of our trip.
 |
These were located at approximately @ N48º07.8321’, W091º42.0834’ |
Ethan picked up a little hitch hiker for awhile today.
Stopped just down the river from the pictographs as it had been a long day. We stayed at camp site #1866.
Went out fishing and Ethan caught a few northern. I had several bites, but they all came off right at the canoe.
