We got up late after sleeping in and had a quick breakfast. We packed up and headed out to overcast skies. We headed south out the Sag Corridor and made our way past all of the motor boats headed out to fish for the weekend. We made our way into Seagull and saw all of the beautiful houses on the hill sides. Me finally found our exit and got out at trails end cafe. We got a quick bite to eat and our outfitter picked us up. My wife has never been so happy to see an old van. Saganaga Lake, Seagull Lake. No portage, 4 miles.

We made our,way back to Clearwater and showered. Nicole's favorite part of the trip! We left the outfitters after buying the kids some souvenirs and headed south. We stopped and stayed over night in Madison Wisconsin. Wow. What a beautiful city. We eat tons and the wife enjoyed the sauna, the hot tub and the hotel bar. We slept soundly in our king size bed and headed back to Cincy in the morning. We were happy to see the kids but sad to leave such a beautiful, pristine wilderness.

This vacation stirred something in me that will drive me back to it atleast once every year for the rest of my life. My wife however, checked it off as one thing she wanted to do in her life and will never do it again. My next trip will be in the fall through Ram Lake. Solo. Everyone thinks I'm crazy. I think doing this makes me decidedly sane!!! Saganaga Lake, Sea Gull Lake
