I know both those sites. I can imagine the stress of being exposed to days of high winds in the elevated site on the channel between upper and lower Cirrus.

A few years ago my son and I decided to enter late in the afternoon on Friday,  the day before our planned Saturday morning entry. We paddled across Nym lake in warm temperatures and with a light breeze on our backs. T-shirt weather, I call it. We set up camp on a long peninsula just east of the Nym portage Batchewaung lake. It was a nice site but we could hear the rumble of approaching thunder as wet set up the tent. When some extremely evil looking clouds clawed over the tree tops we began to look for large enough crevices in the bedrock to hunker down in. A strong and sustained gust blew through an nearly ripped out tent away, but it stayed anchored due to the guy ropes tied to trees, in anticipation of the approaching storm. We sheltered behind a big boulder near the water until the wind subsided. That night and all the next day the temperatures continued to drop which nearly led to a hypothermia incident, but that's another story. It's amazing how quickly the weather can change from pleasant and calm to windy, cold and wet.
