Saturday, August 09, 2014 When we got up in the morning, we realized the snapping turtle in the area had found and consumed my prized breakfast, fortunately, we had not planned on basing our meals on my fishing skills, so other food was available to fuel our trip out. As we began the Journey home, we were missing a life jacket. Must have been left on the last portage. Me and Shayne went back and walked the Caribou/Little Caribou portage and could not find it. No choice but to go on. We got back to our camp and everyone proceeded to the portage into Deer. We reminisced as we went by the camp site which we spent several days on the year before, then worked our way to the portage into Moon. I was hoping we would see another Moose on Deer, but he was not there this year. From Moon to East Bearskin portage has a wooden staircase we climbed and then a long paddle back to the Entry point. Once we got our gear loaded up, it was to Grand Marias for DQ and then the long drive home. It was a good trip and I looked forward to many more. In our hurry to get out, I did not take time to shoot any photographs as we left the the BWCA. This is a deficiency which has been resolved for future trips, and Peter and I even spent an hour photographing grasshoppers on Agnes a few years later.
