This was the beginning of our 5 day 4 night paddling trip.
Here we are all loaded up.
Meghan getting ready to board my inflatable Soar.
David and Joanne's canoe had the heaviest load.
The weather was perfect, broken clouds and in the 70's.
My niece Mollie.
Linda in her 10' rental Old Town Kayak and me in the not so fast inflatable kayak nick named the BARGE by Mollie. I was usually last on the river and would leave an hour early in the morning to get a head start on the faster boats.
Joanne and David under way
Meghan inpatient to get on terra firma.
We stayed 2 nights at our first camp site, so that David and Mollie could portage to a nearby lake for fishing and snorkeling. This is a cross country ski trail. There were many of them along this river.
David testing his wet suit and snorkeling gear. I brought mine but the water was too cold for a warm climate wimp like me.
We had camp fires every night. We carried some wood, but there was plenty of downed dry wood to be found. David had a nice cross saw to cut it up. Mollie and David did most of the wood preparation.
Mollie and David snorkeling in Leisure Lake.
The Lilly pads were beautiful on this lake.
Mollie with a small northern. They really tasted good fried up that night
David with a small Northern. He also caught some bass which we had for dinner that night. Yum yum.
