This was a beautiful morning! We were up at 5:30. The duck and the chipmunks were still entertaining us.

Left camp at 7:45, and left Prairie Portage at 8:30. Saw two loons really close on Moose Lake. Arrived at Moose Lake Landing at 10:15 and packed up for the road trip. The nicest weather yet--sunny and breezy.

And another memorable canoe trip comes to an end. [It would be another three years before we returned to the Border Canoe Country. In 1978 we took a short 4-day trip in Algonquin Provincial Park with our eight-year-old daughter, and in 1980 there would be another trip in Quetico, one that included a return to the Namakan River Loop.]
