Day 4 of 4
Wednesday, August 17, 2022 We awoke to an overcast final morning. We heard some distant thunderstorms in the night but were spared the deluge of rain this time around. We quickly packed our things, meticulously cleaned our campsite, and prepared to retrace our steps back to the Angleworm trailhead parking lot. We enjoyed every paddle stroke as we discussed our trip and told each other inside jokes that only the two of us will ever understand. We ended up back at the parking lot by 1:30. We packed the car, stopped into Ely for a few supplies and headed back to the cabin for a hot shower, some grilled meat and a cold beer. We cannot wait to recreate a similar experience at another entry point and other lakes in 2023!
