Wednesday, September 12, Finally had pancakes this morning! It was very cold last night, but I burrowed deep down into by bag and stayed toasty warm. What’s worse is the morning visit to the cold dewy throne. Still fairly windy but we only have a short hour or so paddle ahead of us back to the landing and the route ended up being mostly protected. So the trip back was calm and peaceful. It’s always fun to watch the groups just starting their adventure. I hope they brought enough warm clothes. I think we got lucky with the abnormally warm temperatures. Strapped the rig back onto the car and returned to Ely for some juicy burgers yum!
