Two nights at Crab Lake with 3 year old and grandma.

Greeted with buckets of rain at the Wolf Lake put in that passed in 20 min. A few black flies.

Nice easy paddle to the portage where we were devoured by mosquitoes. Made our way through as fast as we could.

First trip with the new to me Kevlar canoe. A 42 lbs boat is a revelation.

A day spent swimming, hiking the lookout, and exploring the lake. No camp fire because I didn’t want to brave the bugs for firewood.

Good weather overnight has us sleeping with the fly off the tent and gazing at the stars.

All in all, enjoyable trip but I better understand why people avoid the bugs in June.
