Our guides on the Temagami trip are busy with dinner and "we helped"...
Cooked a whole chicken - it was awesome. ...

Coleen has been my steady bow partner for several years - she is also my next door neighbor. ...
We had quite a feast for lunch - following a couple portages on our Temagami trip...

My family posing at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. ...
My parents came along camping with me last weekend at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. Not pictured: Their huge trailer. :)...

Nancy having her lunch at the campsite. Not sure what the deal was with this impromptu dinner plate / coffee filter, but she didn't seem to mind. ...

No oatmeal on this trip. How fancy!...
From left to right: Scotland, his mother Amber, then her mother Brenda (also my mother). ...
Nephew Scotland checking out the view of Georgian bay. His mother (out of frame) would tell me that she finally understood the term "Breathless". ...
