Outward Bound Journal - Day 3

Woke at 6:00. Had oatmeal with blueberries in it. Left packs in a pile on the shore and walked back around the mountain to our stashed canoes. Learned to paddle - 4 strokes. Paddled back to base of the mountain. Stopped for lunch at our old campsite - peanut butter on wheat crackers. Loaded the canoes, swept the campsite for any trace we might have left. Shoved off around 2:30. Paddled for remainder of the afternoon; stopped short of a portage trail on the far end of the pong (a pond up there is not what one thinks of a pond as down here in New England; this one was 5 or 6 miles across.) Slept with sore shoulders.
