Saturday, August 16, 2014 The last day of our trip always seems to come too soon. It took only slightly more than an hour from our camp on the north side of Kelly Lake to get to the parking lot on Baker Lake, thanks in part to our large amount of rest as well as a light but steady breeze out of the north. With the rains earlier in the week the water levels were slightly higher than when we had entered, so we threw caution to the wind and skipped both portages to run the "rapids". If you've been here before you know that's a bit tongue in cheek, as there was nothing technical or dangerous about doing so, but it provided some much needed excitement on what was otherwise a generally uneventful day. We said our goodbyes to the Boundary Waters for another year and were on our way by 8:00 AM. The 8 hour drive home passed fairly quickly, with plans already being made for next year's trip. All in all it was another wonderful trip with good friends full of memories and experiences that we will never forget. I can't wait to see what next year has in store!
