So Magic is camped on Moose Lake after doing the long (2 mile?) portage from Mountain Lake.  Tomorrow will most likely be the Pigeon River and my guess is he'll tackle the Grand Portage and finish on Friday. 

I wonder how he's feeling right about now?  Is he psyched to be near the finish or just dreading what's left?  I gave him the advice of packing a few more of his trail bars just in case his food ran low near the end.  That 9 mile portage is said to be full of slick mud since the big rain of a couple nights ago.  I hope he's feeling strong.  :-/
