Our last day of the trip would be a quick one. Even though it was only a 5 mile paddle back to Seagull's dock we still had a long drive home today, so we broke camp early and were on the water by 7am. Debbie and Dave were at the store waiting for us when we reached the dock and helped us load our gear into the van. After a quick shower and some parting words it was sadly time to hit the road.

We covered a total of 30.7 miles on this short trip, but we enjoyed every minute of it. The colors were beautiful and it was a pure joy having our dog Molly around. Fall is one of the best times of the year for a canoe trip. Although the days are shorter, you usually have the place to yourself and the weather can be wonderful. Lisa and I have already planned a route for next Fall!
