presence . Offering only an occasional glance in our direction , they feasted on lake weeds as we paddled past them in our canoes . After packing up our Unna Lake camp , we set out to our final campsite for the trip at Spectacle Lake .
SPECTACLE AND THE FINAL STRETCH
We made it to the Spectacle Lake campsite around 18:00 , surrounded by a golden light , enjoying a final dinner of pesto pasta and a dessert dressed up with blueberries gathered earlier in the day . We were joined soon after by the girls , who had a much longer day of it than us after having to set up camp on Sandy Lake during the storm the night before . Together , we shared battle stories from the previous day , recounting the moments and discussing our next day ’ s adventures . And , for the first night of the trip , we saw the Milky Way overhead as we leaned back in our NEMO Equipment Stargazers .
Morning blessed us again with some good weather as we made the final push through the Bowron River and Bowron Lake finish line . The Lake Slayers were sore , but riding high on our sense of accomplishment , we ended our Bowron odyssey at Quesnel , BC ’ s finest Chinese food restaurant . We were not the same people at the start of the trip as we were going in .
