Once on the water we paddled our way to the BWCA entry where we stopped for a snack and pictures with the BWCA sign. During our break, Mother Nature thought she would share some thunder with us so we hung out for some extra time playing games while the weather cleared.
Once back on the water, we focused our time on the set arrival time we had been given for our crew and took our time for the remainder of our paddle. We were about ten minutes from base when the weather began to look like a storm moving in so we decided to pick up speed and head for base early. Less than three minutes from landing at base a huge bolt of lightning came down right in front of us, sending us all scrambling for the neighboring outfitters to get off the water. Thankfully everyone made it off the water safely and back to our base. What a way to end a trip with a bang! Moose Lake, Newfound Lake, Sucker Lake, Basswood Lake, Sunday Lake, Agnes, Lake, East Lake, South Lake
Our last day.... We get up a little earlier today to make eggs and hashbrowns to go with our lemon poppyseed muffins that we made last night. Nothing like some campfire breakfast to end a trip!
