We were up early again, but too late for a sunrise photo. It was 79 degrees at 6am with high humidity and a strong breeze, nixing our planned early morning kayaking. Instead, I sat by the edge of the lake, had my coffee and caught up with this journal. We decided to take a hike around Hematite Lake in the central part of the peninsula because the breeze was making the heat bearable. On our way to the lake, we asked if there was any possibility of getting the same campsite for another night and the answer was a surprising YES!

The Lake hike was about 2 1/2 miles and we saw geese, egrets, and blue herons. We startled a deer who bounded right across our path, which startled us.

We had to get creative (wet, muddy feet) in a few spots where a beaver dam caused a major flood, wiping out the trail and a very necessary bridge over a marshy area.
