Day 3 of 3
Sunday, July 03, 2011 We woke up to a beautiful Sunday and fished around camp. Peasant omelet’s for breakfast were good, but not even close to the pancakes. We took our time cleaning up and packing and headed out around 11:30am. We all wore boots this time and boy was the portaging more fun. We made it out onto Round Lake by 1 and we cruised into Tuscarora Lodge shortly after. They said the phones were down and couldn’t call Seagull. I got nervous, but then one of the guys said he’d give us a ride back to our lodge no problem. Boy, MN people sure are nice. In Chicago we would have been out of luck.

The Seagull staff welcomed us back with smiles and cold water bottles. They sent us up for fresh showers in their beautiful facility, and we were on the road by 3:30. We got back to Chicago a little after 2am, and now we are planning trip 2! Any ideas on our next location? Better fishing?
