Today
we were able to sleep in for once, although I still woke up early because
of the sunlight shining through our tent, and since I was so used to getting
up early. I woke up around 8:00, to see that about half the group
was already awake. I left my tent and searched through my dry bag
for my bowl, cup and spoon, so that I could have oatmeal with brown sugar
in it and hot chocolate to drink for a last breakfast. After breakfast
I was too lazy to even wash my dishes again, so I tossed them into my dry
bag along with everything else I had brought on the trip. Adi and
I quickly took down our tent and packed it up also. Then we took
all of our luggage around to the front of Dave Cozzen’s house where our
canoes were already lying.
With everything
packed up and ready to go it gave us time to relax and look at the beautiful
lake. Between 10:30 and 11:00 the first parents began to arrive at
the house. So group pictures were taken of us in front of our canoes
and we grouped together for a last talk before we went home.
Then we all said goodbye to each other and around 11:30
Adi, Mike and I got into the Kavouksorian’s van with our bags for a two
and a half hour ride home. Luckily WE didn't get a flat tire!
As we sat in the car drinking sodas and eating cookies we quickly drove
by the different camp sites which we had spent the last 13 days sleeping
at. Soon we arrived home, and it felt great being back in civilization
after 13 days of camping.
