Omega, Henson, Pillsbery

Waking up to sore muscles and a few scratches and bruises, we felt pretty good for being what we went through yesterday. The wind had died down, the temps where in the mid to high 40’s, but the sun was out. We slowly broke camp and headed toward Omega. It is amazing how one day could be hell and the next is heaven in the BW. This is why I come here! Not much interesting went on this day; we made it to Pillsbery and camped there for our last night. We wet our lines with no luck. There was an Osprey and its nest across the lake site, we got some great pictures. We sipped red wine and enjoyed a cigar on our last night in the BW. We turned in that night dreaming of a cold beer and a bull moose burger from the Trail Center Lodge.
