Amber Lake Camp from the Water
By the end of the portage, I almost had a mutiny on my hands. Both Carlos and Lorenzo were very tired. It took us 45 minutes (now 2:00 PM) to get to Amber Lake. From my research prior to the trip, I knew that the northern campsite could hardly be called a campsite at all. The south one, though, was very large and had a nice sandy beach. I could see that there were two canoes on the lake, so I was very worried that our campsite would be taken. When we came around the corner, I was surprised to see that the campsite was open. We were ecstatic. There were still some small coals in the fire pit, so it had only recently been vacated.
The people fishing on the lake eventually came over to see the campsite. They had made a daytrip to Amber to try out the fishing. We welcomed them and let them look around. These were the only people we saw on Amber the entire week.
We had lunch and then set up camp. There were several good tent pads. Lorenzo was going to be in the solo tent. Carlos and I were staying in the 4-man tent together. I also set up the tarps.
