Cupcakes and Canoes!



I was thinking about how to best describe this past weekends wonderful canoe trip and this is what I came up with: It was like having a red velvet & cream cheese icing cupcake – truly a unique treat!
I realize this description may seem like a bit of a stretch but I currently have cupcakes on the brain and therefore will continue to use baked good analogies until I find one!

Cupcakes aside (for now) - connecting with our customers in the great outdoors is such a treat because our “customers” become our “friends and fellow paddlers”.
Gareth and I took two incredible ladies for a Pitt Lake paddle over the weekend. Their pizzazz, laughter, and persistent paddling, along with their love of good food, adventure and mischief, became a perfect match for the sunny weather we experienced.

Here’s a few photos of the good times we had:
The ladies making our canoe look good!
Gareth always packs too much and has to bring an extra canoe to carry his stuff ;>
Natalie successfully launching a throw bag into a tree to hoist up a tarp
Melanie successfully launching a throwbag at Gareth to test his reflexes
We brought along the oh-so fierce Keira.
She's very fierce.
Not as fierce as this dude though

A sincere thanks to all those endearing and supportive people who keep Ridge Wilderness alive and well!
