rel & glh preparing to enter Long Lake.
We are home unscathed, sore, and exhuberant. The weekend excursion was as fulfilling as we had anticipated. We got home around 1830 last evening. D. went home to feed and talk to the cats while I stayed at camp and unpacked. It was an early to bed night since we were fatigued physically and today is a full work day.
Last year we did the "Classic" in our kayaks. This year we used a canoe (borrowed because the one we ordered did not arrive in time.) and it was, for me, the first time ever in a canoe and L. has only a few hours in a canoe. We did amazingly well. Of course, when one uses their muscles differently (canoe vs kayak), regardless of conditioning, the muscles complain at the end of the day. ;-)
To the shower then work. More pics and story to come.......so, stay tuned.

i went kayaking a couple of weekends ago at a friend's house. i tell you that i was surprised at how exerting it realy was. i ached for days...however i think that this may have something to do with how unfit i really am.
sounds like a great weekend.
:)
When I was a kid I used to go rafting all the time. I hadn't thought of that in years but I remember it was fun as all get out...
I want to try kayaking and it's on my list of things to do. Glad you had a great time and looking forward to seeing your pics.
What a lovely looking lady your mum was! My mum is 87 in December and we count ourselves lucky to still have her.
Thank you for your comment and I guess 09/11 is something that has traumatised all of us forever.
Take care

You may be sore but I'm sure you're thrilled with your weekend:-) My brother Claude and I used to go canoeing all the time when we were younger...there was nothing like paddling your canoe on calm waters and just listening to the birds and the sound of the paddles threading the water. My youngest son Corey goes on canoe trips all the time and has now bought himself a kayak...he loves it. He's very adventuresome like you:-) I've been catching up on all the posts I missed while I was away and have now caught up with yours. Loved reading the continuation of your trek...what an accomplishment to have reached the top of Baldy Mountain!! I also must say that your mother was very beautiful and I loved the poem that accompanied her picture. Hugs!!
I am so impressed with anyone who can stay upright in a canoe - let alone do the mileage you did on the weekend!!
If my two feet aren't on the ground I am pretty unbalanced, so my sports take that into consideration LOL
Thanks for your tip on the iPod, but the stupid thing won't even charge - it's definitely off to the service centre...
Wow, from heroic treks to mountain tops, to canoe voyages of epic proportions - I salute you oh mighty man of the great outdoors! Woot!! :)
I totally agree with Pea's comment about the post for your mother. Beautiful lady and a beautiful poem to honour her memory.
I love the way you live your life.
By the way, your mom was a beauty. And what a terrific smile!
