Breakfast under the tarp in the rain. A hash made of hunter sausage, onion, garlic and dehydrated potatoes and peppers. We had been dehydrating food for several weeks before we left.
Our neighbour decided to idle his car for half an hour to charge the battery until we, on the verge of carbon monoxide poisoning, suggested he just drive it around. He did.
The weather cleared as we packed for our canoe trip. This involved menu planning and portioning for the next three days. We're traveling with a bin full of dehydrated delicacies. Once we were packed, we were quickly out on the water with Vinnie enjoying his first ever canoe ride.
Site 56 sat high on a rocky point with an eastern view so we enjoyed both the sunrise and moonrise. Almost immediately, the loons began supplying their cliched northern ontario soundtrack. When combined with the sound of the tiny waterfall across the bay, it was New Age CD worthy.
This is what we were after.

We lit a fire and got dinner under way.

drinking rather than move them.
What a fantastic way to move out west. And a hommage to your home province is a must. Ours was that cottage we all rented near Tobermory before we left.
