Good news. We received an inch of rain in the past 24 hours. This along with cooler temperatures pretty well assures us of no more fire problems.

Smokey and windy today but the smoke is from fires a long way away. Nothing burning close to any of our camps right now. We portaged over to Nechigona Lake and got the ramp and boats back into position for fishermen arriving August 15. We need Ryan to portage the motors. He will…
