Thursday, June 09, 2022 We were up early today to pack up camp and get back to town at a decent time. From our base camp it was around six miles back to the truck at the entry point. We also knew we wanted to get ahead of any potential wind coming across Snowbank Lake if we could help it. A moderate west wind was coming across the lake creating some decent chop, but we made it back to shore without any complication. A quick stop at the outfitter to return a canoe and catch a shower were in order before we made a stop in Ely for lunch. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Boundary Waters Outfitters for gearing us up. They've supplied us with gear, permits, and a bunkhouse for numerous trips now providing great service. On our way through town, we grabbed lunch at the Boathouse Brewpub before making the journey back to central Minnesota. While EP 27 was not our first choice, as we all know how fast permits fill up, this trip was anything but a disappointment.
