		I used to think of Adventure as a lake that was far from civilization, since you had to portage 5 lakes to reach it.
		The next day, the lake was windy, but we paddled against the wind and the waves to Pickerel Bay, where we'd heard the Walleye had been hitting.
		But we cooked on my stove, walked to a lake to watch the sun set (just missed it), got wood and had a fire later, and slept fairly well, except for the raccoon that woke me up going through our trash bag, which I'd foolishly left on the ground.

	The History of Australian Exploration by Ernest Favenc
		The objects that now excited the attention of the colonists of South Australia were, discovery to the northward, as to the extent of the newfound lake, and the nature of the interior; and the possibility of the existence of a stock route to Western Australia.
		There was no chance of crossing the lake, and to follow its shore to the north was impossible on account of the absence of grass and water, the very rain water turning salt after lying a short time on the saline ground.
		On one side was an impracticable lake of combined mud and salt; in another a desert of bare and barren plains; and on a third, a range of inhospitable rocks.
