Skies were threatening as the wind blew. There was no calm of morning today. We all went fishing drifting the narrows but the wind was too strong to drift effectively. We caught only one eater size Walleye. Of course we put it on the stringer and looked forward to a dinner that evening. A three Walleye dinner was better than none. By mid-morning it began raining steady. As we had rain gear this was not a great concern but by 1:00PM it did not look good. Moral was down and we were scheduled to head out early on Day Eight. I decided to join me while I rested in the tent. We wished we had remembered the playing cards. We reflected, journaled and discussed the trip. We finished up reading 1, 2, 3rd John in our tiny New Testaments. These are the passages of scripture we chose for this trip.  I planted the idea of a hotel shower/pool and superior meal consisting of a burger and fries. The only thing that really appealed to them was the pool. I had the knowledge that the rain could last for three days straight in the boundary waters but they did not. Considering it was the tail end of our trip I planted the idea of heading out while we would still have enough light to make it to the car.  They agreed so we packed quick and wet and shoved off. By the time we had showered at VNO I was really wanting to get closer to Indiana before I slept. It was getting on in the Evening (8:30) and every place with a pool was booked between Ely and Superior with the exception of one. Wow, am I really going to have to go back on my word? I wanted us to have a few things in our stay. A pool, laundry facilities, grand continental breakfast, and a clean room. I know this is asking for a lot but considering all things it was my desire.  We ended up at the Holiday Inn Express paying far more than I was comfortable with but it fit the bill. And our great burger and fries meal was downgraded to McDonalds rather than the traditional Virginia Adventurers dinner.
