Caption: The day started off right... it was a day that began with hope, the hope of possibility and feeling. My friend and I clumsily latched his newly purchased canoe to the roof of his Jeep and started our 3 1/2 hour drive south.

This is what life is meant to be, this was truly extraordinary.

Caption: Breathing deeply, the mountain air filled our lungs as the week’s stress and hardship quickly disappeared, drowning into the turquoise water beneath us.
It’s hard to believe this is real, this is true. But this moment did exist.

For many, this was likely their virgin voyage, their first experience gliding through the waters, visiting these perfect surroundings

Caption: Upon reaching the far side of the lake, we hauled our yellow canoe ashore. Staring across the vast expanse of waters that separated where we’d been to where we were now, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
