Day 7 of 8
Sunday, September 27, 2020 Got up around 7, broke camp quickly and was paddling by about 8:15. Made it to the American Point island pick up spot by about 9:15. Two canoes with 4 young ladies show up a little later. Amazing- these are all 20 something young women. Very cool! They’re from Minnesota and Montana. Their scheduled pickup is 10am, while mine is 11am. But the boat driver takes me with them, so I get out an hour early. I take a shower, talk to Deb at Seagull Outfitters for a bit, and buy some swag. Then I head to Trail Center and get a good lunch. I was starved! I get a chicken sandwich and an awesome chocolate malt. The drive down the north shore sucks. It is overrun with people. There are accidents, traffic jams, etc. It takes forever to get to Duluth. My wife talks me into getting a hotel room in Marquette so I don’t have to road warrior it all night. Good call. ~Saganaga Lake
