Today's plan was to get as close to end of the loop as possible, so we could exit the park and hit the road home the next day. An easy paddle down Paull Lake quickly became a challenge as late morning winds from the east set in making the last bit of Paull Lake before the portage out a challenge. Rollers and white knuckled paddling seem to be a could remedy for a sluggish start to the morning.

Finding the 300m portage out of Paull Lake took a while as the trail was hidden pretty well in the forest and you couldn't see the blazes marking the trail until you were on top of them. This would probably be the most difficult portage of the trip as the trail crossed the river it followed about halfway across and you had the wade in knee deep current. Lots of fallen trees, mud, and awkward footings.

Finishing this portage, we quickly got our groove back and pounded through 5 portages making it to Boot Jack Lake for lunch. After lunch we continued east on Boot Jack before making a turn to the north through a narrow chute to rejoin Bunny Lake and completing our loop.

One more portage brought us back to Leano Lake where we found a spacious camp under a nice canopy of trees along the western shore. After setting up camp, the evening was spent enjoying the calm waters, a nice fire and good company.
