This was the first backpack of our return to the north country. The posted route is only 7.5 miles, because for some reason the GPS could not find the satellite on our second day. Hart was a great lake to sleep overnight at and Tamarack was a nice late afternoon side trip. I had thoughts of getting to Chaffin Lake, but the route seemed a bit more engaging than what I wanted to put Dot through at the time.

The hike to Hart Lake was pleasant and the trail was in pretty good condition, a few fords near the end that could be a little tricky in highwater, but we managed find. The trail to Tamarack was soggy and a little overgrown. We had the lakes to ourselves and did not see anyone over the two days.
