Last night and taking out at Lake One access

We found a pretty good campsite that was tucked away from main traffic. It was a nice campsite but it was a little buggier than the last campsite. Also, the trail to the toilet was very buggy, very rugged and overgrown and the toilet needed to be emptied or moved (it was really full). The view at the campsite was great though, a few really good trees for a bear bag and hammocks. It was also a great location for a quick 2 mile paddle the next morning to take out at the Lake One access, and nice because it was past the 2 portages that were into Lake Two.
