in my tent

happiness in the hammock

resting.

socks and sandals on a rainy day!

bug bites and swimmers itch = calamine lotion.

breakfast! Self serve style.

wonder what everyone is looking at, clearly not at the camera!

borrowed a dog for the photo! My cats would not cooperate.

the heaviest tarp I have ever used for a kitchen! Kept the wind away and did the trick.

after completing a great trip with friends who had never been before…..

after a long day of hiking Silver Peak, I couldn’t read to my child. We had to read in the morning instead!

An injury from making roasting sticks.

The only pack that didn’t get lighter by the last day of the trip!

Just a little farther, the last time, I promise!

the last portage with a great group of friends!

Inside the Bell Lake Park Permit office. Staff shot after the paperwork is complete! (and running back to the parking lot to find out my license plate number)!

Portaging. I hoisted canoe on me and off me all by myself :)

bright eyed at the put-in.

Lunch atop Silver Peak

a siesta at the summit of Silver Peak

Sandie has never been back country canoeing/camping/or to Silver Peak.

watching the lake

hurry up! I am hungry.

outside of the tent. Not cold, but windy, couldn’t find a hair tie, so had to wear a toque!

looking outside the tent.

sunset over Bell Lake in Killarney Provincial Park

heating up dinner

This camp stove is amazing! I have owned it for over 10 years. Never a problem. I love great gear that lasts....

drove out of the way to get this pic :)

get me off the roof and into the water!

doing the business.

home sweet home. Paddled hard to “race” to a site from the put in.

portaging solo and a selfie. Tricky!

not even half way up, but still having fun!

swimming in Bell Lake

We will remember kite flying on Silver Peak for a long time!

the chipmunk connection

First time on a SUP! I love this!!!

Fashionistas! My friend Sophie and I wearing our Tutu’s on a SUP!

My son is my new favourite paddler! Note the traffic, the one and only canoe we met that day!

Kinda like the Griswald family…..

signage!

getting ready. The kitchen is a disaster!!

back deck test of the outback oven. YUM! Brownies worked. Look out Killarney!

My 8 year old’s view in the canoe!
