The wind refused to quit howling overnight. We woke up and had homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast, then left camp at 10. It was tough paddling the rest of almost 4 miles into a strong headwind after being so sore from the day before, but we made it up to the west end. We wanted to see Johnson Falls so we made a quick hike up there and ate chicken on pita bread. We had to find a site for the night still so we didn't make it to the upper falls. We found the Little Caribous site full and both the sites on the east end of Caribou full. Thankfully, the wind had finally died down after 2 days and the paddle was relaxing. After hearing nothing but the wind howl for so long, it was easy to stop and appreciate the silence again.

We found a nice site on the west end of Caribou, ate ravioli for dinner, had a little fire, watched an adult loon feeding 2 youngsters, and called it a night.
