-Carp river.
+On Friday we traveled further along Lake Superior to the mouth of Big Carp River.
+We departed the lake and travled for several hours deep into the woods, following the river.
+There were many micro-ecosystems along the trail, and the terain was more varied including steep valleys and prolonged hills.
+There were two places where we needed to ford the river.

+Arriving at our campsite around 3 PM, we enjoyed an early dinner.
+We then chose to head out and walk the ~5 miles back to the car that afternoon rather than staying another night.
+The campsite wasn't very exciting, and the mosquittos were pretty agressive.
+Furthermore we would gain an extra day in Madison, which was exciting.
+The hike back to Lake of the Clouds was a long ascent eventually bringing us to a ridge with stunning views.
+It was hot and muggy for most of the hike.
