Day Five -

Our towboat pickup time was set up late in the day so we took our time the next morning. We enjoyed a few extra hours of sleep, a big breakfast and leisurely broke down camp. There was time to paddle over to the portage to Trillium Lake & take a quick look at the lake. From there we paddled back to the 20 rod portage that would take us back into Lac La Croix. We paddled past Dome Island and through a narrows to a small island where we waited for our 5:00 p.m. tow out.
All in all, it was a great trip. The weather was excellent, we checked out a new portage, we caught some fish and only saw one other group of people in five days.
