Around Bowron in Seven Days

A full moon over Indianpoint Lake, 4:30 a.m.

A calm moment on Isaac Lake before the winds

Portaging the gear

Perfect days to reflect on a good days paddle

On one day it has to rain or "Why bring raingear?"

The Bowron Lake canoe route is a chain of 10 lakes and ajoining rivers and creeks, nestled in amongst the Caribou Mts. Don't try to predict the weather because it creates its' own weather system and it changes by the hour. We had good weather for our trip, only one day of rain which is nothing acording to storys we hurd, and just enough cloud to make it enjoyable for paddling. This is a wilderness experience. Ken and myself along with Walter and Brenda and 116 k.m. water, be it lake or river, if you don't paddle you don't get out so you paddle in sun, rain, against or with the wind, up or down rivers. Even if you think you can't make it you will find out that you can, and what a great feeling. Talking about feeling great, there is nothing like getting off the water and having a glass of wine and a gourmet meal. Don't laugh we did this thanks to Brendas fantastic meal planning and the willingness to portage 9 litres of red wine. There is a total of 10.5 k.m. or portages so this was little trying at times. There is something about being outdoors exerting yourself, sleeping in a tent, and eatingwell that makes you feel happy to a live and able. And really happy Advil was invented!
