Here we have canoes at rest. A peaceful sight. After a day's outing, patiently waiting for us to take them for another spin.

When underway from camp to camp, the boats get pretty well loaded. (As do we when we finally make it to the next camp and can relax!)

Paddles are indispensable when canoeing. Here you can see that they are being put to good use in the drying department!

There was this lake on the map that had 'dry lake' next to it. You can't paddle very fast in a dry lake! The best you can do is sit and rest since you had to walk there in the first place and are gonna have to walk somewhere else to get out!

And speaking of walking. You have to take the canoe with you or else when you get to a wet lake you are "up the creek without a..." you get the idea! Bill sure has a shiny canoe! He is probably thinking "hurry up and take that picture so I can put this thing down!"

Here I am doing the portage thing. One person generally carries the canoe. It is pretty tough coordinating two people and an 18 foot boat on those trails. In case you are wondering, I am NOT worried about drowning on a portage trail. I wear the life jacket just to get it to the other side! It also helps with cushioning on the shoulders. (You should try carrying a canoe on a rocky trail... you will see what I mean!)

So... all rightie then..., back to the Onarock home page.
