Dad's Journal
Final Night - Camped on Loon lake, perfect sunset again. Sandy beach. I really enjoyed the day with my daughter. We didn't rush and talked a lot. She is anxios to get back. Not sure I want this trip to end.

Today was the last full day. It's hard to believe it. We were going good until we missed the portage and had to walk the canoe through knee high water, rocks and mud. Kinda blame that on dad because he didn't see it on the map until later. We made good time, so tomorrow we have a few portages left before they pick us up. We did get a pretty nice camp site for our last night. It has some sand and a nice sunset. And today, I totally won the challenge of who can get the canoe up better. And I have been out doing dad the whole trip. He was kinda surprised and keeps saying how happy he is that I came. I'm pretty happy too. Lesson from today- don't worry about your lure getting stuck in the net until you have your fish secure! Also don't throw tricks you can't land dad. I'm pretty excited to get back to the real world tho.
even more beautiful than previous days. We found a great campsite on Little Loon lake with a sand beach, but lots of blow down.
