We set an alarm this morning, the first time in my life I have set an alarm while camping. But we didn't want to miss our 9 am pick up! We usually get up early anyway, but we couldn't take any chances as the paddle out without a boat ride would take us quite some time! We made it back with time to spare, and the boat ride back was again awesome. Our guide even stopped and showed us some pictographs that were pretty cool (see pic). Apparently they were painted with some botanicals and blood. There was a moose, hand prints, and other cool artwork there. Another awesome and successful BWCA trip!
