    River paddle to the portage and back and around the island in Cannisbay Lake. The water lilies are in full bloom and the ducklings are growing fast. Nice to be a passenger this time.

  • Blueberry picking on Old Railway Bike Tr

    August 2, 2024 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Revived an August Algonquin tradition of picking blueberries in the old air fields off of Old Railway Bike Trail near Mew Lake. Meghan first picked here at 2 1/2 years old and was eaten alive by mosquitos. We came better prepared this time. Blueberry pancakes tomorrow am.Read more

  • Hairdos & Happy Campers

    August 3, 2024 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Today started with a Luke breakfast. We then created wedding hairdo for Meghan who was headed off for a drive to a wedding in Campbellford. Not bad for a salon in the woods.
    We filled the rest of the day with rest, paddling, and eating good camping food.
    We took a rain break to watch some Olympics indoors. Great day

  • Busy Campers

    August 4, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Last full day of camping. Rain is coming overnight, so we've decided to pack up and leave this evening.
    Today's highlights: Walk at Beaver Trail. We enjoyed watching Quinn bounce through the hike with so much joy.
    Stick fetch at the dog beach. Missing our friends so much.
    Overall a relaxing time to reconnect with nature.
