As always on the last day of a trip there is a sense of excitement and sadness. We experienced both in different degrees.

Camp was packed in no time and soon enough we were on the water. There was no hurry to get back as we had a room booked in the VNO bunkhouse.

We took our time and re-traced our route through Agnes and into Nina Moose.

We weren't paying attention and we saw a canoe on the south eastern end of Nina Moose and naturally assumed it was coming out of the river so we headed that way and ended up trying to head up the Portage River. It didn't take us long to realize that this was not the same river we came in on. LOL

The canoe we saw was leaving the campsite next to the river.

After a quick turnaround we were soon headed south on the Moose River and after what seemed like forever we found the parking lot. The Moose river can be a bit of a slog but it had it's moments like the moment we rounded a turn and the sun had just peeked the trees and there were a million spider webs lit up on the grasses. It was spectacular. I had never seen anything like that.

We packed up the truck and before long we were enjoying a cold beer compliments of VNO when we checked back in.

An awesome hot shower and soon enough we were in the Ely Steakhouse for dinner and an ice cold pitcher of beer.

An early bed time back at the VNO bunkhouse and we all slept like babies.
