Gunflint Trail Day 4
Blueberries. Magnetic Rock. Kimball Lake. Swimming. Eating. Drinking.
Hiked to Magnetic Rock around 11am. Susan fell once and really skinned her knee up bad. When we got back we jumped into the lake and swam around for awhile then sat on the dock to scare away the boaters. Did the evening fishing at Kimball. It was so beautiful and fabulous to be out there in the float tube with no motor boats (just loud kids at the campground).
I got skunked again at Kimball Lake but holy smokes what a gorgeous evening. We got there when it was windy but within 30 min it was less windy then by 8:30 still as it could be. The fish were sipping on something--some little white bug--but I couldn't figure it out. I went from the sinking line and nymphs to the floating line and small white things but no luck. Peggy got 3 and Susan got 1. I used the root beer barrel, the black woolly bugger, the green woolly bugger, the mayfly, the white things. Nothing nothing nothing.
Ate mostly leftovers today. We have so much food and beer and wine and cocktail mixes and snacks and chips and pretzels and popcorn and hard boiled eggs. We could survive another week easy. Talked about our moms. Talked about hospice. Talked about how we want to live out the rest of our lives and hope we can still fish for awhile.
