Massasauga Provincial National Park

I know that everything has been pretty so far, but now we are getting into what I dreamed Canada must look like by boat.

We are now traveling with two other boats, " Jim's Joy" and "One September" through the small boat channel of Georgian Bay and our destination today was

Massasauga Park. It is spectacular! 

The three of us anchored in a large, but protected bay of granite and forest. That's us, just to show you the scale.

We lowered the dingy's to go explore the bay.

 

 

We secure the dingys so we can follow a trail to another lake, a portage.

 

And here we go as we practice our" bear calls" and walk through the island. (A bear was shot last month at the last place we visited, Frying Pan Island.)

The park is used for campers as they passed in canoes with their gear. We waved. I don't think I want to camp with bears about.

The lake that we find seems to be totally enclosed as we kick off our shoes and relax and enjoy the view and reflect how far from home we are.

We wake up in the morning to the smell of coffee in the boat and outside a mist over the water with warmer water and colder air.

We get ready to push on towards Parry Sound and Big Sound Marina.

 

 

Now that is one happy Bob!
