Number of Days: 10

Day 9 of 10
Saturday, July 02, 2011 Everyone is up at 4:45 a.m.On the water by 5:30. Either our scouts are very good at breaking camp or some are very eager to get back to civilization. I think it's a combination of both. We got back to the Mudro parking lot at 7:00. Very smooth sailing for all canoeing and portaging throughout the trip. I thought we would miss out on a few items by single portaging, but the fact is we could have shaved the load even more (not much, but a little).The drive back to Ely was quiet but after a shower at Canadian Waters people stared to liven up. Dan mentioned about the Government shutdown and the chaos it was doing. The troop did some t-shirt shopping for about 1 1/2 hours then we started the drive back to Janesville Wi.
