We kicked off week 4 of the big adventure today. After breakfast we went out for an early morning canoe ride. The lake is big and beautiful and calm. Very clear, nice and cool. Thought we might have an issue getting canoes and such, there’s not a huge supply here, yet the resort is pretty huge. Turns out it’s relatively quiet here. Mike was saying many of the resort places up here actually have their busy season in winter and summer activities are an afterthought.
Anyhow, after the canoeing we decided to go for a hike. Found s trail, more or less. Followed it for a bit - pretty much straight up. No switchbacks here. I found s walking stick and for the first time ever in my last fe found it to be useful, really, really, really... really... steep trails. We headed for a waterfall, the trail map was not good. We sort of found it, from afar. The trail that seemed to lead to it was steeped than steep and sketchy at best. So that pretty much ended our attempts at hiking here.
Spent the afternoon kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, enjoying the cool lake water. I cast my mom-ness aside and let the kids take off in kayaks and on SUPs by themselves. They did great. I managed to do just fine on the SUP myself. Mike made it to his knees, maybe tomorrow I can convince him to stand. Though maybe the best part is simply being able to lay flat on it and just surrender to the wills of the water a bit.
Tomorrow promises to be more of the same. Just need to get the boys to understand that s break every now and then is s good thing. Not many pictures today. Water and technology don’t usually mix do we kept the phones in the room, safely out of harms way.
