Today is the day we pack up. It is a nice and peaceful day with a little bit of drizzles in the forecast. When I get up I make myself a cup of oatmeal and start to tear down camp. I pack up my blanket and tarp, then I put my hammock in its bag with its straps. When we were tearing down camp it started to drizzle a little and the wind came up also.

When we left our camp the wind was about 7-10mph with some sprinkles on the way back. When we got to the portage we doubled back so we didn't have to carry a lot of weight. When we were done we started the paddle again back to the dock to Sawbill Outfitters to finish our BWCA experience for 2024 and my second trip with many more to come.
