Day 8 of 9
Monday, August 24, 2015
We woke early again with plans for moose viewing. However, it was our coldest morning yet and that coupled with the familiar misty drizzling soaking mess of rain, kept us in our tents. (Later, no fresh tracks helped us feel better about giving up on our moosey ambitions so easily.)
We left Frost around 9am and were settled in a nice island campsite on Long Island by midday. The morning’s paddle had been wet, cold, and windy again and everyone was exhausted from our constant battle with the elements over the past week. We napped most of the afternoon away, as much for warmth as for rest.
Dinner that night was large and delicious as we finished most of the rest of our food. As we ate we played peekaboo with the boldest vole we’d ever seen. Afterwards, we sat around a roaring fire to keep out the cold on our last night in the wild.
