Overall, the trip was terrific. We had a great bunch of folks all with July 11th sitting around the campfire. From left to right are Bob,  July 10th - Bob. Notice how white his shirt is. Bob has style. He dressed for dinner every day in nice clean attire. Some thought he was dressing for a board meeting, that was the joke that went around. Kudos to you Bob. Not many have nice white camping clothes.  Here's Bob again. He had a cool hat, and clean clothes!  I like an image with all the canoes. Here are three that I picked out from the ones I took. Maybe one day they will make nice postcards or something.    July 10th - Emmy and Gordon doing a map reading exercise. At the time of this photo, and for a few years prior, Gordon was the President of the Ontario Recreational Canoeing and Kayaking Association . He is also an instructor in several disciplines. He is part owner of Canada South Outdoors, mentioned earlier. He's a good teacher.  July 9th - Emmy and Graham resting. No story here I suppose.  July 8th - Emmy and Stephen paddling away. We were probably chatting along the way.  We had some spectacular evenings. I was having fun with my camera as you can see below.    July 8th - Gordon sporting his high tech rubber rain gear, brand new 1940.  July 10th - Gordon out for an evening solo paddle. He probably needed some time away from all the shenanigans and goings-on. I think most of us were class clowns, most of the time. Well, at least I can speak for myself.  July 9th - Gordon and Liane paddling, then Graham paddling.   July 8th - Karen posing and sporting a lovely bug shirt, gucci I think. Then Karen again July 10th paddling.   July 8th and July 13th - first Liane and Gordon paddling, then having a well earned rest.   July 9th - Some clowning around. Here is Liane, Gordon and Shawn.  July 13th - Shawn, Liane and Bob with Graham in the background. Let's see now, it is see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. I doubt that is true for any of them. That may explain Graham's laughter behind them.  July 12th at some very interesting rapids. No, we didn't all run this one. Last year when Shawn was here, there was a canoe wrapped around a rock at the bottom. I guess the ice finally dislodged it. Here are a series of pictures from the bumpy water on the Spanish.       July 12th - I love sky images. I don't include many of them as they start to look the same to many people, at least after 20 or 30 of them. I like these two and hey - I decide what goes up on this website after all.   July 9th had a great sunset. Actually most days did.  July 10th - We camped at a site that was a bit tight. It's not very often you have to line up all your tents in a row. Let me tell you that you find out very quickly who snores at night when you are all this close.  July 14th - Take Out Day. We stopped for lunch and finally remembered to take a full group pose. From left to right are: Shawn, Emmy, Graham, Karen, Gordon, Bob, Liane and me - Stephen.  Happy Paddling everyone! |
