We started the New Year (2010) with a SPLASH! Our New Year's Day paddle on the Grand River
We had a quick visit to San Francisco in October.
One Fly-In canoe trip was not enough.. so we went to Temagami. Four of us, from the canoe club, flew into Scarecrow Lake which just happens to be adjacent to Ispatina Ridge. Ispatina Ridge is the highest point in Ontario. Of course we had to hike to the top of Ontario and a lovely hike it was. We also 'had' to climb the 'forbiden' fire tower. I do recomend the hike up to Ispatina Ridge... but I don't recommend the hike up the fire tower... Maybee I'm just a big chicken but I would not do that again.
The Sturgeon offered a very diverse landscape; everything from rocky falls with very very steep portages to weed camouflaged portage that were relatively flat. This was my second time down the Sturgeon and it is still one of my favorite trips. Although I am finding it harder...
Left in the wilderness to survive on our own... we did have a lot of steak & stuff though! We flew in to Lac Benoit in a 1951 Beaver (airplane), it is the same plane that appears on the 1999 quater (canadian). At the time the art work was commisioned the plane was based out of Ottawa. We then made our way down the Dumoine River. The injuries notwithstanding it was a great trip and the service at the Deep River Hospital Emergency Room was fast a courteous.
OK! I saw this in a picture once...but in retrospect I might have been looking at the picture upside down 8-(
We visited Quebec City and Charlevoix in June 09, here are some photos.

We visited Provence in March. It was the second time we've participated in a group. Pauwel's Travel out of Brantford were running a tour that focussed on the history of the region, that also incorporated savoury sides of fabulous food and wine. Cathy will have many many words about our trip. I'll limit this to a few pictures for the time being.
