Our canoe...and some plans

Last year, my dad found an abandoned Clipper canoe. He helped Martin do some fibreglass repairs on it - and then we got all new hardware for it and repainted it. It was a fun project to work on last summer.

Once it was finally all finished, we took a trip out to Widgeon Creek to go test it out. We had such a great day! (except for the part that we went the wrong way for a while - and didn't realize it until we had been paddling for over an hour!!) It was just so peaceful and quiet. Even with our detour, we had time to do a short little hike to some beautiful waterfalls... it was great!



Anyways, it got us thinking to do a longer canoe trip some time. We thought we'd make that our summer holiday trip this year! We're planning to go to Murtle Lake. It's in the interior of BC, in Wells Grey Provincial Park, and it looks like a beautiful place! You can see a picture of it here. We can set up camp right on a sandy beach - and have a campfire right along the water!
