The inviting waters of Carleton
Place
August 20, 2006. - Carleton
Place, Ontario
Well, i'm not entirely ashamed
to admit that we didn't act like
quintessential
30 year olds this past
weekend. Sometimes, though, the
thrill of the adventure sends
all propriety out the window.
This tale involves taking on the
raging Carleton Place waterways.
After our boating plans were
foiled by finding a mere 4" of
water at
our planned location, we had to
take what we got. There seemed
to be
more hiking that boating involved
in this particular outing, but
none
the less, we had our fun, and
entertained a few passerbyers
along the
way.

maybe we should have gone the
other direction...

some nice natural
scenery along the way..

ditto..

Unfortunatly, the poor camera took yet another dunking, as it was hanging
around the neck of the kayak operator, who was unsuccessfully
attempting to negotiate some turbulent waters. so it missed out on
some good shots, but it came back to, a couple hours later, for some more shots.

downtown must be near.. |
what a great location
|
 |
 |
|
this town seems to
provide no place
to tie up boats |
what a
strange place to have a picnic
|
 |
 |
|
having forgotten our picnic
basket, clearly only one choice
remained.. (picnicsurf vid) |
perfect hiking, although
Ralph thought that log was a
little
slippery on the way down.. (walk the falls vid)
