We all changed out of our damp, sweaty clothing and started a small fire to avoid getting chilled. As we had been rationing our food all day, we realized that we could then afford a larger meal. We were glad to get it as we were all pretty tired and a little beat up. After enjoying the warmth of the small campfire under a stunning canopy of stars, we retired to our slightly damp sleeping bags for a well-deserved rest.
We awoke just before daybreak and Steve and I began filtering water (using MSR ceramic pump filters). We boiled some of the water and added some Carnation Instant Breakfast packets to for warmth and energy.
We were treated to a spectacular view of the southern portion of the Killarney range and Georgian Bay as the rays of the rising sun began to strike the low-lying clouds and the rocky hilltops in the distance. As I was taking some pictures of the scenery, my bowels suddenly let me know that I was not about to complete the expedition without a trip to the restroom.
