Today the morale of the group was at a low with a long day of paddling yesterday. Reaching the end of the trip was in the minds of everyone in the group. We portaged around L. Basswood Falls to the winding Horse River to bring us on the last leg of the trip. Below you can see how at some points along the river we would have to walk the canoe across the rocky rapids. This was also done to skip a portage and was well worth the effort. After navigating through the river we were met with cold and damp conditions for the rest of the day. The majority wanted to reach a campsite soon to get a fire going and warm up. The group and I had a long journey and were exhausted from the closing of our trips loop. Once the sun came down we made it to the tents and woke up with excitement to make our way back to civilization.
