We woke Tuesday to the first of our 2-day scheduled return trip. The winds all week had not changed direction and we were looking at a stiff head-wind for our return run. We had planned to leave early (6:30AM) to get a jump on the winds, but found out quickly that plans made in the Quetico often need to be adjusted :) With headwinds all morning, we worked our way back to Silver Falls and finally settled on the first campsite to the north of the Falls. Most everyone who has been to the area has seen it before as it is on a point as you turn to go into Saganagons through the narrows. It ended up being a wind, hot day. The open point with little shade didn't offer us much relief as we sought a cool place to nap a bit in the afternoon. Later that afternoon, the winds dropped off and dead-clam prevailed. It was a welcome change as we were a bit exposed on the site we had selected. That evening, we decided to fish the area as we had dinner plans that included fish on the menu, so we headed out and scored a couple of Northerns for dinner. Our team cook put together a fine meal consisting of baked fish in butter, onion and garlic salt (yes, we brought an oven); kuskus and peas and a three cheese biscuit baked fresh in camp - YUM! Later that evening, we decided to take a quite paddle in the bay to the north of our campsite and were overjoyed with the wildlife we encountered! First, a huge bull moose welcomed us as we rounded the corner of the bay. I have been on many trips into the BWCA and Quetico, but had never encountered a bull moose, now I can add this to my life's accomplishments! It was VERY cool and we got close to him. We also saw beaver and Eagle that evening making our trek all worth while!
