Sunday, August 24, 2014 Today we paddle back to the outfitter and head home. We were up at 5 am to get an early start and be on the road home early enough to make the long drives during daylight hours.

There is something about coming to your final portage and knowing it is the end of your time in the BWCA for another year. This year, we leave the BWCA in a blanket of fog and light mist. We have experienced virtually no bugs, all of the predicted storms have stayed away from us, the lakes have been calm, and once again our friendships have been strengthened.

Until next year....

Paddling out.. in the fog
I hold the most valuable item at the end of a week in the wilderness... the key to the shower house!
