Around that point and to the end of the lake we go!

When we arrive at our destination, we unpack the canoes and haul them out of the water and up onto the lawn at Bear River Merchantile. We store all the paddles, bailers/sponges, PFDs, etc. in the shed. We clean out the canoes and load them onto the trailer for the next trip. Merlin, Dave and Patty go retrieve their vehicles from the park's registration center parking lot about 5 minutes away. Merlin and Cheryl have two vehicles and are leaving a car here until next week and will also be giving Susan and I a ride to the Quesnel Airport for our afternoon flight to Vancouver, so Dave has agreed to help transport some of the gear that far. After breakfast they will go get her car from the registration center parking lot and I'll get my luggage so I can give them their river bag back.
