Canoe Trip

What an amazing canoe trip we went on. We left on Tuesday and drove to the Seagram Lake Canoe route in Nopiming Provincial Park. It was very hot, but we walked to the first lake, paddled across it. Portaged and then paddled the second lake, portaged and paddled the third lake to our camp site. It was a beautiful site and we set up and enjoyed a well deserved swim. After an amazing supper of campfire dinner, we enjoyed relaxing and games. It was a little hot the first night and that made it hard to sleep, but we did get a good sleep, especially in the morning when it got cooler. The next day we did some paddling, had a loooooong game of Phase 10 and had an enjoyable swim. For supper we had Mexican and a oreo cheese cake made by Joel and with birthday candles for George & Carla's birthday. The second night was much better. In the morning we packed up and after breakfast we paddled back. It was difficult because it was so windy. After several dumps into the lake, both in the kayak so no gear was wet or lost, we made it back.
Everyone did great and it was so much fun. The laughter and enjoyment of the beauty and the challenge made it a great time for all. Special thanks to our expedition leader - Joel - who drove the van and organized the meals, which were so good.
