Out of the BWCAW

We came out of the Boundary Waters about 11:00 this morning. We had a great trip, as usual. The weather was good, although a little wetter and a little cooler than most past trips. This was our longest trip: 15 days. We would have a hard time carrying enough food for a trip any longer, particularly when carrying food for Matilda. Matilda did good. Everything was new to her, so everything got barked at, at least once. She did fall off the boat a few times, however. A couple times she slipped and fell off. At least once she rolled off when she fell asleep. The fishing was good, and we managed to eat fish for as many dinners as we wanted.

We are camped at Fall Lake Campground outside of Ely. We are re-provisioning for our next trip and doing some laundry. Tomorrow we will put in for four days on the Namekagon River in northwest Wisconsin After that we will be done with wilderness camping for a while and will start working our way back towards NC.
