Packed up and headed back toward the lodge. Long paddle ahead - and as fate would have it, the slight wind was out of the east, so at our backs the entire way. Encountered quite a few days of Canadian wildfire smoke with probably helped with our sunburn chances. Decided to pay it forward and leave the next campers some dry firewood. Stopped in Grand Marais. Our 19th consecutive year of Father/Son paddling successful. Not a drop of rain either. Next year marks our 20th.
