Fall 2023; mid September, as the leaves were just starting to change, over a year in the making, we were finally able to take James' mom and partner out on their first backcountry canoe camping trip. James helped Rosanna and Steve plan all the gear that they needed to outfit themselves, they collected gear all summer long in preparation. Unfortunately two weeks before the initially planned fall trip, Rosanna, broke her ankle! The excitement resumed next fall, the fall of 2023. Here we go:
We entered through Magnetawan, night 1 Daisy Lake, night 2 Misty, night 3 Little Trout Lake
They completed their first portages, set up their new tent for the first time (disclaimer: it is recommended to try before your trip!) pulled over beaver dam after beaver dam, were rained on, got lost in the forest, ate fresh caught trout cooked over the fire.. had the true Canadian wilderness experience.
Emma, friend porcupine and new doughnut floatie that does not float very well, are also featured in this short comedy - ahem, I mean canoe camping film.
Alternative title suggested by Rosanna and Steve: Camping with Seniors
Let us know if we should edit the title in the comments 😂
Thanks for coming on the adventure with us!
