| We slept in until 9:30. I woke earlier, but with Paul not feeling well, I decided not to wake them. We had planned to camp that night where the winter road crossed the river. We guessed it was about a 12-mile paddle; that would leave 20 miles for tomorrow. We were going to stop for lunch at a ranger’s cabin, but when we had not found it by three and we “suspected” that we had passed it. However, I was getting very frustrated. We stopped and had lunch and took a GPS reading. We had indeed passed it and I felt much better. We came to a trapper’s cabin a couple of kilometers before the winter road and decided to camp there. There were large rocks at the site that again indicated that we are nearing the Canadian Shield. Paul cooked supper and went to bed after eating. Chris and I did the dishes and Chris fished awhile. It was neat navigating from the map with Ft. Chipewyan on it. Both Chris and I are looking forward to canoeing into Ft. Chip tomorrow. It should be a special part of the trip. |
