Awoke at 9 a.m. Mr. MN had gone out fishing, and was back lazily tearing down camp. I made myself some coffee and began helping out as well. Later on MNy awoke, and enjoyed some grape nuts for breakfast [1/2 c grape nuts, 1T + 1t of dried milk, and sugar, add 1/2 C water).

We left camp around 11:30 and very lazily paddled out of the BWCA.

We went through two cans of bug spray in the few days we were out in the woods! I've never seen so many mosquitos in my life! The biting flies weren't as bad as they were over on the Superior Hiking Trail, but the squitos were HORRENDOUS!

On exit we of course swung into Java Moose, and stopped by Worlds Best Donuts! Definitely be prepared to wear a mask in Grand Marais. They're not required, but you'll probably be the only one w/o a mask if you don't bring one, and they're very much appreciated. No matter how you feel personally, know you're making others comfortable at the very least, and to me, that's worth it.

I think all in all, we're an Ely bunch, but I was super glad to finally see Johnson Falls.

Until next time.
