For many years the last day was alwaysup at dawn to pack up and head out, get on the road, get home. The last few years Ive done it a little different. On our last day we have a leisurely breakfast of oatmeal and toasted bagels. We watch the two groups on the western shore pack up and leave. Take a few more photos around camp and talk about what we want to do next year. Around noon we pack up and head out, knowing the parking lot is only a few hours away.

We meet up with a father-son group heading out. The boys are all smiles and have had a great trip. Looked hooked for life if you ask me. Its a nice paddle out and the creek is now FULL. No dragging the canoe to the landing. I guess it really did rain a lot those first few days. In the parking lot there are two scout groups waiting for outfitter pick ups. We are able to unload our excess granola bars and cookies. Those scout groups are always good for that!
With everything loaded we hit the road, stopping at Fenske Lake Campground to change into some cleaner clothes and get washed up a little for the ride home. Ely is buzzing as its Blueberry Festival weekend. We stop for pops and begin the drive home, stopping in Virginia to eat.
We agree the years trip was great - Im not sure what it would take to make it NOT great.
Already thinking about next year..- Frost Lake maybe?
