On our last day we were treated to one more beautiful Minnesota morning. After a liesurly pancake breakfast, we struck camp and got loaded up for the short 1/2-hour paddle west to our pick-up point at the portage to Sucker Lake. Our boat driver arrived right on schedule and we were soon on our relaxing ride down the Moose Lake chain, arriving at the Williams and Hall dock just before noon. After getting loaded up and cleaned up we wasted no time getting into town for the much anticipated Boathouse burgers and cold beer.

All in all it was a great trip. Sure, there were the mosquitos, there was the traffic on the portages and my body did remind me all through the trip that it was now another year older than the last BWCA adventure but none of that outweighs the great time we had and my planning for "next time" has already begun!
