Day - 9 - Saturday - July 11 - Up early for breakfast of Waffles and coffee and then we hit the road. One of the downsides of this type of trip is when you transport wet gear in a car for any length of time, like overnight, it starts to stink, and I mean stink with a capital PHEW! Once we got going and ran the AC for awhile it wasn't so bad, I felt sorry for anyone doing this laundry (Thanks Honey!). This part of the trip went well, no problems and the miles just ticked off allowing us to get home around 1:30 in the afternoon. We unpacked, set up wet gear to dry and put things away for the next trip - which we hope won't be to long to come. Now we're ready to start planning the next trip! Maybe go out through Ely next time? Maybe go back to the Gunflint Trail? Not sure, guess we get to do some more research and planning!
