Day 9 of 10
Thursday, June 01, 2023    Woke up to the sound of raindrops on the hammock tarp. Cooler weather would have had me linger awhile, but current temps see me enjoying the first cup under the yellow tarp. Last day in the BWCA and I'm pretty excited. Heading out tomorrow via Nina Moose and the Moose river.    10 days. Never again, especially in the "buggy" season. Too much work and you have to cary too much chow. I miss the camaraderie of my tripping friends as well as the shared work.    Not a lot of wildlife this trip. No moose, haven't heard any wolves, not even a bald eagle sighting. Lots of other birds though, giant swans, mallards, Canadian geese, loons... even a little bright green hummingbird.
