Saturday, July 01, 2017 Our last morning produced our earliest departure from a campsite, and orr most efficient traveling. We made it from the campsite to completing the last portage in 2:45. I really wish we could have had a couple more days in the good weather that followed, as the girls were really becoming experienced trippers at this point. On the way out, we were able to count the six parties who would be entering EP 16 for the day. This included one large group that had to be two permits, because they had 8 matching aluminum canoes. I'm not sure where they were from, but it was a youth group with many of them being French speakers. They needed some instruction on the rules that don't allow parties to travel together, as they totally obstructed one of the portages for a good 20 minutes.

On the last portage, we had several free hands and help the Georgia crew with some of their gear. They were also staying at VNO, and we'd have another opportunity to wish them well later before departure.

Spent the afternoon cleaning up, visiting the wolf center, souvenir shopping, and pizza at Sir G's.
