Waking about 5:45 A.M. we noticed the wind although still blowing...was much less...

We had a light breakfast of granola bars and the last of the filtered water which was mixed with Crystal
Light orange drink...Tore down the tent and packed up for the last leg of our 2005 BWCA trip...

8:00 A.M.
Paddling with the wind, we left Fourtown and headed towards Mudro and the stop point at CHAINSAW
SISTERS SALOON....anticipating beverages of something other than filtered. The rocky portage was a
snap...we were becoming portage ready-and-able at the end of the trip...HA.

After "relaxing" at THE SISTERS and enjoying the brews and reminicing the just finished trip and
PLANNING THE NEXT ONE...we drove back to Ely for a hot shower followed by a GREAT Buckie Burger at
the Ely Steakhouse.

We said our goodbyes to Adam, and Nick and I made the 6 1/2 hr trip southward back to the green
cornfields of Iowa and home until next time we venture into the wilderness of the BWCA...
