Monday, May 31, 2004 We would make it back the car today. We woke up on Grey Lake and I felt ok. No more headache, but sleeping on those rocks where killing me. We left early in morning, catching fish along the way. We hit the "swamp on top of the hill" portage from Grey to unnamed lake, it was nice and swampy. I think Mike or Justin went in, about up the there thigh. I know it didnt. We made it into shade, than did the succession of small portages into north bay. we sat at a campsite making our lunch about 2:00pm, no one was talking, everyone doing there thing. All at once pretty much we decided we werent staying another nite. Mike had a 5 month old son at home, I was getting sick of Justin, and well Justin had to go along. We paddled for the car. Mikes car was left at the Moose Lake landing, he went solo in his canoe through Burke Lake. My car was at the Fall Lake landing, thats where Justin and I headed. I paddled from the back motoring us along, Justin helpped from the front. We cruised through area we expected to be fishing that nite. I wanted to get to the car. Well we made it, but we had to paddle through half of Newton lake in the dark, and do the portage into fall completely in the dark. But we made it. We passed Mike driving in Ely, twice each of us turning around twice. We met later that nite at the first Rest Stop out of Ely. Made it home around 2 the next afternoon.
