Seagull Lake

Today, we would paddle towards home. I didn't take any notes today in my journal as I don't recall any major happenings that last day. Seagull Lake is always a treat to paddle and I find myself slowing down the closer we get to the dock. Before we left camp, Lauren wanted a picture with her creation from that morning.

Despite all the rain and the yoke issue this was a great trip. I was very proud that we perserved and didn't just quit and head home the day the yoke broke. We made the best of the situation and now have a great adventure to remember. Lauren again amazes me with her comfort in canoe country. She did great on the long portages--mud, rocks, rain and all. Why not, right?

When we get home, I have a portage yoke to replace. I must make haste since in less than a month we shall return for another trip. My paddling partner and I have more exploring to do!
