D16

Been gone a little while. . . went up to Tobermory last weekend. . . swam in freezing ass cold water that looked more like the carribean than it felt.  Ontario, who knew?  Went up to camp after that to lead another looper in blazing fall colours, and finally went to Laura's aunt's cottage for a thanksgiving chill out near Minden, which was convenient.  the whole business was ripe with canoeing, hikes, and runs of the gull river at a fantastic level.  How is it still hot out?  Will write more soon.  I would apologize for all the pictures, but there were lots taken and I couldn't decide. So I'm not apologizing.  I'm going to go vote now.

NDP or bust.

I like high speed.

You want to know something crazy?  Bruce Lee is still alive.

Today is an all day slog in incessant rain.  Mist shrouds the peaks as we work our way into bigger and deeper canyons.  Class III’s and nervous tension about the consequences of a dump dampen the afternoon further.  The sets are great fun, but huge boulders block our view and lining opportunities.  Misty air blows our clothes to our skin under a steely sky and we break out layer after warm layer while we wait in cold eddies for Murielle to scout along the slippery rocks.   

We’re happy to get to a site with a redonk view of fjordlike cliffs.
