Day 3 of 3
Monday, August 06, 2012 Breakfast and coffee again before we packed up and headed out.
The trail on the west side of Angleworm seemed more defined than on the east. We wondered if most people start up the trail that way (clockwise) and turn back before they make it all the way around?
We planned on stopping for lunch at one of the 3 camps on the southwest end of the lake. We passed the first 2 heading south and went into the 3rd which I wouldn't really call a camp......it was literally right off the portage and almost in a swamp. There was no fire grate either but unless I missed something that was it...we had a short lunch and kept moving.
We met back up with the portage shortly after lunch and crossed the boardwalk without the rain this time
The portage was easy hiking from that point and we spent the next 9 hours in the car talking about next years trip; we're canoeing!
