0805-Verse of the day from Bible study: "See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God." (Heb 3:12)
0915-Prayer and reading finished. My current book is "Clear Thinking In A Messy World" a Christian guide to logic, reason, and cognitive bias, by Kenneth Samples and Mark Perez. Time to make breakfast.
0930-After breakfast I started to get gear ready to fish, hike, and hunt for firewood to bring back for an evening fire.
1050-Will head for the trail first.
Heading To TH
Beautiful Morning!
Approaching Point To Bushwhack To Trail
Track To Bushwhack Trail Head
Obstacles Getting To Shore!
Tree On A Rock!
Bushwhacking
The Trail
Bear Track
More Trail
1430-Returned to the boat after hiking 2.4 miles total and bush whacking up steep terrain to access the trail. It was successful but not easy. No interesting critters observed but found bear tracks. Caught no fish either coming or going. Need to go get more firewood. But a cold beer and a snack was in order first.
The Hike
Running The Gauntlet Again On The Return!
Fishing On Return
1600-Back from cutting firewood. I went over to a site with a couple of dead trees and cut them up and hauled much of it back. I wrapped it in a small tarp to protect the dinghy.
My Firewood Spot
Cutting Wood With New Mini Chainsaw (8")
Firewood Loaded
Upon my return as I was unloading the firewood a power boat motored by with a group of sightseers. I couldn't really believe it! Then a but a bit later another comes by blaring music from load speakers, again sightseeing. I felt like I was in Disney Land. Very irritating for someone oriented to being in the quiet and pristine wilds. I know, I know, they are just trying to enjoy the season too!
Approaching Islet
I wasn't sure I could safely bathe with all the boat traffic. I found a natural bath on the west side of the island and got cleaned up and thankfully no Looky Loos showed up.
1800-Just finished dinner. Pork roast, salad, rolls, and white wine. Now I need to go out and get set up for the evening fire.
Using Portable Fire Pit Instead Of Rock Fire Ring
2135-Came in from the fire. Stars were out, a beautiful evening. I will sip on some Baileys before bed. I plan to move in the morning.
