As we were finishing introducing Dorje to the canoe, the wind picked up again so we decided to go exploring to see what was in the area. Goal was to find more camping area… free if possible… Did not find the free camping but found some other neat areas to camp.
Dorje realizing water may not be as horrible as he thought. We will continue to work on it.
Thought we may have taken a couple steps backwards when he ran into a swampy area thinking it was solid ground. Ended up in deeper water than he had been in before!
The area we were exploring was a HUGE rock climber attraction. Someone had set up a rope swing in a cave like area and Emma had a blast swinging around!
The next morning Dave had to take off to make a couple phone calls for work so I started packing up our tent and eventually woke Emma up to get dressed and start packing her stuff up. It had been VERY windy the night before and to my surprise Emma had slept through the entire thing! Dave and I both woke at times thinking the tent would be dismantled.
As I was getting Emma up, I looked up at the sky.
Changed my thinking and started putting stuff in her tent to stay dry and told her to stay put. Had no idea how long Dave was going to be and there was no way to call him since our phones did not have a signal where we were.
Dave made it back as the rain was ending. Could have been a lot worse but it was enough to chill me to the bone. Two nights of not sleeping well (first night really cold and the second due to the wind) and I slept most of the way home. Dave and Emma stopped a few times to fish and Emma caught a fish the second time they stopped!
Overall a successful trip. We were made aware of what camping gear we are missing and plan to correct that buy the next trip!
