Monday, July 14, 2025 Day 5 and time to start homeward. Plan was to paddle down to Boot, find a decent site and then out to Mudro the next day. After a casual breakfast and relaxed breaking of camp we had an uneventful trip out. As we approached Fairy, it looked like some serious weather was coming in. We hoped to get the eastern site with western exposure but someone just beat us to it. We took the site on the portage and much to our pleasant surprise, this is an under rated site. 1 great tent pad, I decent pad with southern on a point facing south with 250 degrees of views. Good fishing from shore. Set up camp quickly, and did a quick boil water and pour into pouch freeze dried meal. It was Kung Pao chicken and maybe the best one of those meals I have ever had. At about 630, the worst storm I have ever experienced in the BWCA came in. I am closing in on 100 days on the water and it was special. Non stop lightning and thunder and heavy rain for 10 hours. I did mention a great tent pad. This pad could take a 4 person, it was level, not lumpy, and did not collect water. No widow makers or dead trees. So we hunkered down in our tent all night for the second time with the pup wedged tightly between us. Got up to an overcast but improving day and headed out.
