The Caribou River was a little unnerving as it was SUPER silty and you couldn't tell if it was 5 ft to the bottom or mere meters. And there were lots of swirls and eddies to navigate. There were a lot of deadheads along the banks here as well. Needless to say I didn't take the camera out to snap pics here.
We stopped at camp 35 for lunch about 11:30. My energy levels had taken a drastic downward slope at that point. But the food helped. It was kind of funny but at this campsite there was an unusual toilet:
We pushed on from the site and met the two guys we had camped with the first night. They pulled in for a bio break just before Sandy Lake and we pushed on.
The large flow through between Lanezi and Sandy Lake was very shallow. Especially the bit going through Sandy. We pulled around to campsite 39 about 3pm and it was perfect. Beautiful sandy beach. We decided on one of the 4 tent pads closest to the bear cache and set up. Once done we changed and headed in for a swim. The 2 guys pulled into campsite 38 for the night about that time. We were excited for a full swim and bath but after we got out about 100m it was still only knee deep!! Down on our knees we went and helped each other bathe. Once out I went back and grabbed some clothes to do laundry. Hanging them on the line in the hazy sun and bit of a wind.
There was a lovely bench in memorandum that we sat and watched the rest of the movie we hadn't finished the night before. About 5:30 we started dinner. We had our first bannock of the trip and it was pretty good. We cleaned up and retired to the tent to watch another movie. It started to spit rain so I ran out and grabbed the clothes off the line. Unfortunatly they weren't dry yet so I hung some in the tent to be able to wear some on the morrow.
We figured theres only one more night of camping!
