Woke up well after noon and packed up camp. The jokes on the paddle back to the trucks were endless and helped keep our spirits up on an internally defeated group. Our first trip was now over. In the back of my mind, still to this day is- "someday I'd like a nice black rug for the living room". In the end, all we lost were 2 more days of the trip, most of the food, Vanny's Duluth Pack, and 2 of Dogger's toes.

I got to admit, the shredded pack makes a great conversation starter aloft a corner in Vanny's cabin.
