Morning was gorgeous, partly cloudy and warm. We had blueberry pancakes and drank our coffee and gazed out at the water...heaven. The crew elected a day trip into Polly, so we loaded up, secured the camp, and headed out.

Without gear to portage, the trip into Polly was a breeze.....and what a lovely lake! We paddled around all the little bays, admired the campsites, and found an empty one to have our lunch.

 

Back in camp, for our last night before heading home....never long enough. Nick helped cut more wood, and we explained about "pay it forward". He thought it was a good idea, and cut wood with vigor!

Jesse braved the mosquitoes long enough to get some sunset pictures, and joined me in the tent, looking somewhat shaken. It's possible that the tent walls were bouncing a little as our friends tried to join us.
