We did it! We came home happy and dry from a 3 day trip near Haliburton. We left on Friday morning with the grey clouds and rain following us -- when we got to the marina, the rain had stopped. We paddled a couple of hours to a great campsite. This is us in the "kitchen" of Site #1...aka "It's Not My Fault" Point.
We had a great evening and sleep here. The next morning we paddled away with not-quite-clear-skies, but NO rain. The sun poked out here and there to encourage us. We found our second site (aka Wintergreen Sound) by noon, had lunch and then relaxed, explored and fished.
That is a fish on the end of Nate's line. The fishing was fun - almost everybody caught at least one. But they weren't worth cleaning and frying. The biggest one was about 10 inches long.
Anyone know if this REALLY is a bear print??The trip was excellent. There was a one big tip in some rapids...but it wasn't Nate and I so that made it really funny! Unkind, I know, but I had a hard time stifling my laugh for a while afterwards. There's nothing like a good canoe tipping to lighten the mood of those who are dry.
You'll be happy to know I had NO incidents with fire or lighting the camp stove.
There is nothing, NOTHING like the great outdoors to boost your spirits and relax you!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like my previous comment did not work out so well without the aid of the space bar.
ReplyDeleteWhat I Said was something along the lines of it looks like you had a great trip and Nate looks very proud of his catch. I can't wait to be hitting the great outdoors in Canada when i get over but will probably leave it until next spring.
Still no pictures of facial fire damage. is that in todays blog?
Love the pix of Nate...he's very dapper with that new beard of his :)
