Short paddle out on a beautiful morning. The 140 rod portage out was not nearly as hard as the one into Bald Eagle. I think it was a bit more level and the temperature was more tolerable as well.

There were several downed trees, from the wind storm a few nights earlier I suspect.

A hot shower at Jordan's and then into Ely for a burger and fries at The Rockwood.

Overall a great trip, but the 17 year old daughter says she is never going again...she really doesn't like camping, but loves canoeing....
