Friday, June 18, 2010 Day Six: Woke up early to the sun rising just over the tree line to the east. Actually, it was a rock line as most of the trees that way were gone. The wind was already beginning to pick up so, for the first time, we rousted everyone up to get an early start. We broke camp and were on the water by 8:30. The other thing about the storm was that once again, the wind shifted. God came through for us again by changing it to coming out of the southwest, directly at our backs. We surfed across the lake so fast we had to hide behind islands to check our maps to make sure we were heading in the right direction for our landing. Because of those breaks we took, it took us a little longer to get across the lake, but we still hit the boat landing by the Trails End campground about 10:15. What a trip. Within an hour of landing, we hooked up with the other two groups, who were expecting to drive down to Round Lake to meet us. Showers and a few beverages later, we headed to Trail Center for our victory dinner of burgers and malts, then a stop in Grand Marais for gas and some souvenirs, and then a leisurely drive back to Wausau with different cars splitting up as we headed home.
