We were ready to get out of the BWCA this morning! It was quite chilly during the night, and just as soon as we packed up camp (sopping wet) and hit the lake, the rain started again and didn't quit until just after we got back to the outfitters on Poplar! The wind had blown a tree down over the portage from Lizz into Poplar, but we made it over with little trouble. We were glad we had dry clothes in the car! We turned in the canoes and headed back down the North Shore and back to the real world, glad to be out of the rain, but missing the simplicity of being out in the wilderness and looking forward to the next time we come back to the BWCA!
