Paddling Off into the Sunset

Storm Surge

The aftermath of the storm a few days ago saw washouts and fallen buildings and vehicles washed into Lake Superior.

Wind Bound

Windbound on Lake Superior, drying out after the storm and resting up for the paddle home.  The wind swung from the south to the south west blowing massive swells parallel to the shore and breaking heavy on shore.

Dog River

Paddled the Dog River this last week and along the coast of Lake Superior.  Started off walking most of the river then after a couple days of storms got caught in major water coming out of a couple waterfalls and then hanging out on a beach on Lake Superior waiting out the huge waves to subside.  Ended the trip with a snow storm chasing us down the lake towards the Michipicoten River.

Pines and Cliffs

The Agawa River has amazing rock cliffs and huge white pines lining the banks.

Agawa River

The water level came up in the Agawa River which made for an excellent overnight canoe trip from the Agawa Canyon down to Lake Superior via the Algoma Central Railway.

Bush Cabins

There are unique bush cabins along the Algoma Railway line with assorted implements scattered about the yards.

Frozen Rosehips and Golden Tamaracks

Lots of frost every morning coats the plants with ice and the Tamaracks haved changed from light green to yellow to golden to rusty brown before their needles fall off.

Frosty Rosehips

Magpie River Forest

Moose

The moose are hanging around town these days.

Snow Clouds

Clouds bringing snow are slowly creeping across the lake from the West.
