Part 4 of 4
August 3, 2008. We slept in till 7:30 or so and took our time getting up. We didn't have much of a hurry packing up. Once everything was picked up, we said one last good-bye to site and we were off. Another beautiful day and paddling was a breeze. The Clearwater/Caribou portage was still muddy and wet even without being a rain in the last few days. We rinsed our shoes out in the water, and got a quick picture of our group by the Boundary Water sign in the portage. We reached the entry point around noon and had a long drive back to the Milwaukee Area.

Positives of the Trip:

great fishing

saw moose

bonding with family

solitude on Rove and Watap

nice campsite

Negatives:

too short :)
