just another weekend in the north

paddling the pine river...one of the few good things about a wet summer is that this river actually has enough water in it to paddle. and a lot of log jams. which were no problem to get around in the canoe with paul, but a got a little scarier when i was negotiating them in a kayak by myself (having kayaked maybe 5 times before and not at all in the past 5 years)!




shootin' shit...i'm not very good at skeet shooting (or skeet throwing for that matter), but i can blow the smitherines out of a beer can with the .17! we were even environmentally friendly little rednecks and picked up all our shells before we left :)




and sleeping in the hay loft (after an amazing into-the-sunset horseback ride)



the action-packed canada day weekend also included a very boring sick day and camping, tequila and fire works at hart lake. oh northern canada!
