Day 16: August 17, 2012


Last hike!! It was worse going back to Mott than it was getting to Lane Cove, because the hill up from Lane Cove is incredibly steep. Angela and I both got stung by a yellow jacket- Angela on the lip, and me on the thumb.

It was cold before we started!! Helly Hansen kept us warm, though.
The bottom of the steepest hill...






You can see the little waves way out in the water of Lake Superior!!



We made it back to 3 Mile, and collapsed on the dock. Then, we got a ride back from the ever gracious NPS! We seriously can't thank them enough. They were very helpful in getting us from place to place, and in giving us tips, hints, and information while we were conducting our research. Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to Angela's project- we couldn't have done it without you!! :)
Phew- it's good to be back!!
Thanks, NPS!!

Once we were back to Mott Island, we packed up our things in a cart for the boat, and went to bed! Have to be up early tomorrow to leave on the boat! We were worried that the Ranger III wouldn't be able to make the trip, with the waters being rough. It did get there though, it was just delayed by a few hours. So our departure tomorrow is still on schedule! Can't wait to be back, but at the same time I'm going to miss it up here. Guess that I'll just have to come back.

:)

The wind blew our tent over while we were gone!!
I ran to get picture of this sunset on the dock.

So beautiful. :)
