After a breakfast of blueberry pancakes we packed a lunch and headed off to the portage on Heritage Lake. As we walked the portage seemed to get less well traveled until it just seemed to end, but we kept going, making our own path. It was hard because it was a marshy area and you never knew what you may step into. When we reached the lake all we saw were rocks and a few lily pads. DB decided to try it out anyway. BH then went in but stayed close to the rocks. I went in and swam out a ways. We were quite disappointed and finally headed back blazing our own trail again as we went. When we got back to Shell Lake we went to the empty campground next to ours and swam there for awhile, ate a lunch of cheese, crackers and jerky then DB and BH went back out in the water again. Since I didn't have a swim suit I stayed out to dry. We finally headed back to camp and had chicken, cranberry stuffing, potatoes and gravy. Still didn't feel like making dessert. We sat out in the dusk and then dark and watched lightening in the distance. When it finally got close we went to our tents. Rained some, but not buckets.
