We woke up and packed camp quickly as leaving today was the goal. Mosquitoes still driving us insane. we portaged all the way back the the entry point. Baker Lake. We were so glad to be Mosquito free. We had checked the truck to see where we had left the bug spray. It was behind the topper in the bed of my truck! "How could we have missed that??? We check it 2 or 3 times". We had rain everyday except the day we left. Mosquitoes were insane. But with that said. All in all it made out for a trip that I will never forget. I will always tell this story to people. I still look back and wish that we would have continued on and finished the Jack Frost Loop. I will one day. Later that week after being back I was reading up in my Robert Bymer book about the route we choose. It stated that it was the most rugged according to difficulty. Hmm maybe I am glad we didn't continue on...
