I was looking at maps and photos of a canoe trip from 1998. From 1993 to 2003 my college friends and I would do a camping trip about every other year. Usually Quebec but sometimes Maine and once to motor boat trip to Lake Powell.
The Trip to Lac Carrier to Lac Canimine in La Verendrye Reserve was terrific.
After a few hours paddling we came to the campsite which is that little poke out of the east side of Carrier by and island to the west. Sandy beach. Nice camping area in the woods. The first morning was foggy.
The fog soon cleared and we discovered that the sandy beach stayed very shallow a long way out!
This was pretty much paradise.
One morning some bear cubs came by and were eating the blueberries at the camp site. We were very aware that mama doesn't let the cubs get too far but mama didn't show up so when the cubs bounded off to the island we carried on.
There go the cubs past my canoe.
Fishing. Resting. Start the camp fire.
Dinner and then evening started to arrive
Fishing in the sun set
Next morning mama bear came by. She was very non-threatening as most black bears are. But we decided it was time to move along
