Monday, June 11, 2018 Up at 4:20, paddles wet by 5:40. About three hours back to the car. The best paddle out weather I've ever had. Sunny, no wind, no rain. Was overcast as we got to the parking lot. Drove to Ely, late breakfast at Britton's Cafe and a little shopping downtown.  I always look forward to ICE water when I get back in. The trip back to Eau Claire was uneventful. Already thinking about next year...or how I can do two trips a year. Maybe a solo trip, or just my wife and I.
