Algonquin Bound

 We are a great base for jumping off for a day in the Park.  Every year, our guests take traditional day trips. This morning Lee, John and Ralph were busy strapping down the canoes and kayaks -- they are branching out to a different route in the Park today, exploring new territory.

And what a perfect day it is for that!

Ralph is relieved that his glasses were found. Yesterday, coming back from his run (he is a marathoner!!!) he went for a quick dip to cool down. Only after he came out of the lake did he realize he didn't know where his glasses were.  Could he? Surely not...   But yes, Lee, trolling over the edge of the canoe spotted the glasses on the lake bottom. Good thing our water here is so crystal clear!  A little diving did the trick, and Ralph can now see his way clear to the Algonquin expedition!

Which he could not bear to miss... Who could?  Inside the cottage, Arlene, Anne and Carol had cooked up a superb picnic lunch (and had dinner already on the go in the slow cooker!)

They picked up the complimentary Park Pass from our office, checked that Achmed the Cat was not hitch-hiking along under one of the canoes, and are off for the day.
