With all the preparations we made Saturday night, we hit the ground running on Sunday. We had coffee drank and oatmeal ate before the sun came up. The wind was still going to be an issue this morning, but at least it would be our backs. We packed up and headed off into the sun. The trip across Pine was FAST, a little scary at times but FAST! We rocketed across the lake and were surprised to see campers on the first site of the lake. Who knows how long they had been there? I felt pretty bad for them, since heading west had been almost impossible the last 3 days. We made quick work of McFarlane as well, and were glad to see the landing. We were more surprised to see eight vehicles parked there. Where were all these people? We stopped into Betty's Pies for lunch and then parted ways in Duluth. The weather was crumby, but I was so happy that we went in with a goal of catching brook trout, and we were able to do that. I got to see a whole new area of the Boundary Waters and have some great stories to tell.
