Day 10 of 10
Sunday, July 03, 2011 After spending the night again at the Holiday Inn we ate breakfast and headed towards Coldwater Ohio.
Overall we were very satisfied on the trip. We had very, very, very, little food left when we exited BWCA. Total of two broken rod tips. Three minor injuries, all involving the adults. Two of us got cuts from the camp saw just by brushing up against it. The third cut was from braided fishing line on a finger. Although we had to rent a van for 10 days and stayed in a hotel for two nights, we still got by for right at $400 per person.It helped that we used hotel points and used our own equipment as much as possible. Brian, our Boy Scout leader took this troop over about 6 years ago when it just about folded up due to many reasons. He started with this group of boys as his first group of scouts. Without older scouts for guidance these boys have become model citizens and very good scouts. It didn't hurt that Brian is an Eagle Scout and ex river guide in Maine. BWCA is a fantastic place and I will be back.
