Day 5 of 5
Day 5 The morning finally arrived and I was the first one up again. Man I wish I could sleep longer. The four of us ended up opening the bakery on main street. We enjoyed some coffee, tea and pastries. We headed back to regroup and say our good bye’s to dad. Since me and the brothers were headed the same direction we decided to drive together until the cities. I pawned Rob off on Ben after we had lunch together and headed south back to Cedar Rapids and they headed towards Ames and Des Moines. Lesson learned: 1. Lots of ways of seeing things with different generations, well I already knew it but experienced it more extreme 2. I want to lead a trip and get my wife up here. 3. Got a nickname of two bass Tom. Every time we went out I came back with two huge bass. Caught a bunch more but only kept two which fed the group. 4. Rob is used to catching more fish and does not like it when I out fish him at every turn. 5. Hanging a food pack is a waste of time and energy. Must find alternative method. 6. I have fallen in love with the BWCA all over again.
