Given that we had less than a two hour paddle to get back to the entry point, we had a very leisurely morning eating breakfast and packing up camp. Thankfully the rain had stopped early Saturday evening so things had a chance to dry out a little bit, though they were still wet. On our way back, we scouted out a few other areas Steve Nelson from Spirit of the Wilderness had told us about, and they look very promising for our 2012 trip. It was also nice that we took our time because we would have otherwise probably driven through the tornadoes that hit the Twin Cities on our way back to Rochester.

As I alluded to above, unless something changes, our plans are to go back to this area next year. I was shocked that an area so close to one of the busiest entry points could provide such solitude and amazing fishing. I just hope it doesn't get overrun now :^)
