After a breakfast of loaded oatmeal with coffee we decided to move to Caribou for our final night, as the wind continued be out of the east and it would make for a nice short final day to head out. We broke down camp and jumped along the southern islands to cross Meeds as there was a moderate wind. We found the portage into the river to be rocky but short. The river was a very unique and we enjoyed a nice slow paddle through. We then portaged into Caribou and after checking out a few different sites we decided to take the site across from the portage into Lizz. This proved to be very entertaining, watching the groups come and go. We had a lunch of macaroni and cheese and then had a visit from the forest service, who recommended getting firewood from the portage as they toss the cleared wood just out of the way and this is usually dry and not rotten. We took this advice and ended up with some do the best firewood from our trip. We had a dinner of chicken pesto soup with cache lake italian fry bread. The fry bread from cache lake is absolutely amazing and if you have not tried it in the past we recommend you get some for future trips. After dinner we started the evening fire, played cards (golf) and reflected on the trip. We went to bed after a nice sunset and unfortunately missed the northern lights.
