Friday, June 22, 2007 Woke up early to another beautiful BW sunrise and a breakfast of oatmeal and coco. We broke camp and headed to the pick up site for our noon tow. We made good time and and when we got the pickup site, we me a group of people from Texas waiting for their tow. We found out it was only 10am so we had a 2 hour wait. Jr and one of the kids in the other group did some fishing from shore and caught a few small fish, releasing them. Our tow arrived and we said goodbye to the group. When we got back to the dock Jr fished from the dock while waiting for our ride to Ely. He caught one more small northern and released it. We got back to Ely and when I went to get the van it wouldn't start. Got a jump and we were OK. Bad thing is that I had just put in a new battery about 2 months ago. Anyway we packed our gear in the van and started the long trip back to Tn.

The BW has change quite a bit since my last visit in 1960 or so. Overall it was a great trip and I am glad I was able to introduce my grandson to the things I experienced when I was his age. I am already planning for my next trip in about 2 years.
