Saturday, August 20, 2022 We got up early and watched the sunrise while enjoying some coffee, tea, and oatmeal. I had managed to turn 40 in the Boundary Waters!! After breakfast we began breaking down camp. It took us a little time to get all packed up and we headed towards Fourtown. The plan was to grab a site and make a quick run out the next morning. We poked through Gun topwater fishing and got a couple smallies. After jumping over to Fairy we tried the shoreline for some more smallies but no luck. We decided to skip fishing on Boot and get to Fourtown to try for a site. We met a group headed to Iron and they mentioned it was busy around Fourtown. After a quick paddle down Boot in calm, sunny conditions we portaged over to Fourtown. We had a little snack at the portage and broke out the map to look for campsites. After heading down the lake and seeing some activity we decided to make a run for the car. We got to the car about 5pm, sorted the gear and packed up to head to Ely. Pit stops were made at DQ for a birthday blizzard, then Piragis to turn in our gear, and a couple souvenir shops before we headed south. Overall it was a great experience and we can't wait to get back!!
