Breakfast is Bacon Smash (mashed potatoes and bacon bits in a cup)… and we slowly break camp. It’s always easier packing to leave than packing to start :) We paddle out of Slim under the threat of rain, but no actual rain. We stop by the vacant middle site to compare it to the north site; it’s fine, but doesn’t make us regret staying on the north site. Both are very good.

As we exit Slim we look back and judge that this might be the prettiest entry point we’ve been to. I say Slim is a really nice lake; no need to continue farther than it… but if you go to Hook/Kenau you’ll be rewarded for your (minimal) effort.

** I still need to do a real voyageur-type trip thru the BW, but seriously… I’d come back to Slim for a couple of nights… and I’d definitely recommend it as a get-started trip. **
