Our trip was pretty awesome, but the last night was not. It rained so hard overnight, upwards of 2-3 inches in a very short time. Needless to say our tent was wet, our sleeping bags were wet, everything was wet. We rolled out of bed very early because who likes to lay in the cold and wet? We made a quick breakfast, packed up a very wet camp, and headed out. We were a little leery of the weather that morning. It was very unstable and just as we thought the wind picked up. It was blowing straight out of the North that morning, so it did a great job of pushing us off the lake. It was a little scary though... I am not a fan of paddling through 4 foot rollers. We knew we would find refuge in the rivers, and by the time we hit Nina Moose the wind had layed down a little. We packed up and exited the BWCA, stopping at the Dairy Queen in Ely for lunch. Then we headed home to Central Minnesota. The trip was so much fun! I look forward to September every year for our time on Lake Agnes. It is not the most private lake (we saw multiple groups passing through every day), but it's my home away from home. I have spent some of the best weeks of my life on this lake over the last 15 years and it will always have a special place in my heart. I am excited to be finally leading my own trip (without the wisdom of my father) in May. Of course "George" will be joining me as we are headed to Wood Lake (EP 26) with 2 others. But of course, come September we will be making the trip to Agnes with my dad and company again!
