Saturday, June 30, 2018 I am awoken at 2:30am by thunder, flashes of lightening and pouring rain. Thankfully it's not windy and the lightening doesn't appear to hitting the ground, but each flash of lightening sends my heart racing. It rained so hard that I thought My tent was going to float away. By 5:30 the rain has stopped and I get up to start packing up. I know I have a long day ahead, but I want to savor the last hours on Oyster Lake. The morning is turning out to be another beautiful day. The portage out of Oyster is one of my favorites as it has some beautiful old growth White Pine, Red Pine and even Cedar. The Oyster River is clear and full of undulating Angel Hair Grass. Below the first portage there are several small beaver dams that I easily navigate over, and I eventually make it to the Nina Moose River. By 4:00 I am at the Nina Moose parking lot. While it's hot I feel refreshed and rejuvenated, and at the same time, a little sad that I'm leaving. The rest of my journeys into the BWCA this year will most likely be day trips, but I'm already thinking about next year!
