We stayed at the Adventure Inn in Ely our last night. That was good because we did not get back in Ely from Smitty's until after 9pm. Took a shower which is always nice after a b dub trip. It was now 10 pm and was too late for food at the Ely Steakhouse which is what we were craving so we went back to the Boathouse for a couple of well deserved beers and they did have pizza available. They were done serving food as well but had a limited "after hours" menu. It was frozen pizza but must say it was pretty darn good with the beer after a week in the woods! Back to our room and to bed around midnight or so.

Woke up around 8am and had some coffee. Good coffee at the Adventure Inn. Sat out on the front porch and finished my notes from the trip. Another nice and sunny day in Ely. We checked out at 11am and headed over to the new Rockwood restaurant for lunch. I noticed right away it was located where the old Hardee's used to be as I used to stop there in the past. It definitely looks liks a fast food joint from the outside but inside is very nice with northwoods decor and a nice looking bar as well. Since it was a Monday there were not many people there yet so the service was speedy and excellent. I got the Rockwood burger and was very good.

On our way home we stop in Cloquet at the Warming House which is a part of Gordy's HI Hat. Coffee was in order and hit the spot. They have ice cream, cake and pie too. Good stuff. Finally make it home around 5 or 6. Time to unpack and slowly plan a new route for my next visit to the b dub.
