Adventures in the outdoors
We live in an area that has many places and things to see and do, so with the weather looking extremely beautiful the last weekend in May, we headed out to find some local tourist locations. The decision was made to take the canoe out for a paddle down in Wellington, and well, just see what would happen after that…
The best thing about having our own canoe is that I can wake up in the morning, look at the weather, and decide it’s time for a paddle adventure. Prior to this we would have to beg, borrow or rent a canoe. Times have changed and I am happy for this. So, on the long weekend when the weather finally produced some sun, off we went for our next paddle adventure. This time we headed to Bon Echo Provincial Park. We would paddle out to the Mazinaw Rcok Pictographs.
The canoe, she has been stored all winter, waiting, just waiting for spring to show up so she can wet her legs. Well finally it seems that spring has arrived, and with temperatures up to double digits we got her ready for her first paddle this year. This past weekend just also happens to coincide with my parents visiting so we took my mother with us for the paddle.
Ever since we bought our canoe in August I have been wanting to get out as much as possible. A few weeks ago we got out for a paddle and when we got home, we put away the canoe…..dirty!! In the back of my mind I was hoping to get out one more time, at that point I would do the final wash before storing the canoe. Time passed and the opportunities to get out was slipping through my fingers.
