Day 12: July 16th, 2012

Woke up and finished packing our stuff for the hike to McArgo! We decided to travel to Daisy today and start the hike to McArgo early tomorrow, spending all day on that. The weather forecast: scattered thunderstorms for the next few days. That means that our Helly Hansen gear will have to be at the top of our packs!!

Take a look at the fog when we woke up!! Normally, you'd be able to see across Rock Harbor channel.
Sarah blends in with her Helly Hansen gear on! See if you can spot her in this picture with Charlotte.
While packing up our gear, we realized that about 20 bottles were missing from our things. Which, obviously, was a huge problem. The park service saved the day, by loaning us sterile centrifuge tubes for our water samples!! THANK YOU!! Still not sure where the bottles went- we'll have to keep an eye out for them. They might've gotten lost in the shuffle of trying to get everything together in the beginning of the trip.

We canoed to Daisy once everything was packed up, and I ended up really seasick. (On a canoe. Sad, right?) There were lots of big rolling waves, especially when we got to the opening in the channel where Lake Superior flows in. At least the waves were with us I guess- we ended up getting pushed while paddling, and made it in 40 minutes rather than an hour!

There are lots of bunnies at Daisy Farms. :)
Didn't unpack much once we got there, since we're going to leave bright and early tomorrow. We just settled down, ate dinner, and are going to sleep early. I'm really starting to miss everyone from back home. It helps a lot though that the girls are so nice. We talked a lot, and are all getting to be great friends. They're making the trip so much more fun. :)
