Entry & Exit Point: Seagull Lake (EP 54)
Number of Days: 7
Group Size: 3
Day 7 of 7
We woke up early and paddled across Seagull, basically at first light, counting on the morning to keep the big water calm for us. It was an easy uneventful journey aside from a motor boat that crossed paths with us OUTSIDE of the motor area, and gave us an unpleasant ride on their large wake. We took out at the outfitters, showered up, and headed for some lunch in Grand Marais. Overall, some less than ideal weather. But hopefully, the bad karma from this trip will mean a good one next time. And will have bear canisters along next time for the burn zones. Safer for us and for the bears!
