Thursday7/25/19 last full day on the water. Today was the last full day on the water. Probably the most challenging with our longest portage and we fought a head wind most of the day. We had a 210 rod portage early in the day, then we hit our the head wind. The next two small portages were around small rapids that we were able to paddle through. John and I lead the way and the group followed. That was a little variation on our trip. As the day went on the wind was stronger. I originally wanted to stay at a camp site that was across from our take out pint the next morning. I worried that when we turned south on Farm Lake we would have th full force of the wind on a larger lake with the possibility of motor boats. We stopped at a camp site near the #31 official entrance marker, still inside the BWCA boundaries.
