Day 9 of 9
Monday, June 11, 2012 Another early leave time. A storm had blown through with little rain and the day dawned sunny and bright. We were on Homer Lake in no time and I was very impressed with it. We noticed a state park campsite on the south shore that was outside the boundary waters. We could tell because it had a picnic table. It was on a beautiful spot though. Before we know it we’re at EP 41 and it’s a quick mile and quarter walk back to the car. The pack up was quick and we were on our way home - just like that. Since we spotted a couple of moose at the start of the trip we found it a fitting surprise that on the caribou trail we had to stop for another moose! I’ve seen moose before but not three on the same trip.

Had a safe drive home and was unpacking and throwing clothes into the washer by 8pm. I liked the Brule Lake area.
