Day Five: Back to Basecamp

   The goal today was to make it back to Basecamp first. We succeeded. We woke up early to make trip donuts and were on the water by 8:00 a.m. As we paddled passed two other campsites we didn’t see anyone at either, so we worried that we were going to be fourth or fifth into the island. 
   The wind today was rough and added a little time to our journey, but we were still able make it to Pee Rock by 10:00. We stopped for a quick snack, but had to quickly leave because we saw another group coming.
   From Pee Rock we paddled to Big Rock Beach; which has been renamed by a few campers and quizzes as Large Stone Landing. The name change comes from the question; What is the difference between a rock and a stone? Any thoughts?
   At Big Rock we had our Genny Raid. On the last day of trail we open our general that holds all our food and eat everything we have leftover. Kelby and I also concluded that the trip we saw behind us was the camper workers, so we watched and waited for them to get in first and followed shortly behind and were the second trip in.
   Day five is always filled with cleaning canoes, putting gear away, washing dishes and finally, the best part; sauna. After dinner, the rest of the day was spent as free time before we went to bed.
