Caption: Adventure 001 Canoe Camping
Picture
Caption: It's unbelievable that it's been just over a year since our maiden voyage.
Picture
Caption: We rushed home from work on a Friday, packed up the truck and hit the road.
Picture
Caption: Just the necessary
provisions, of course.
Picture
Caption: In reality we had three full canoes, four guys, and a dog.
Picture
Caption: We got to the island just
before sunset, and went to work building a fire, cooking dinner,
and making camp.
Picture
Picture
Caption: Somebody forgot we were camping and thought they needed a bath in the lagoon.
Picture
Caption: Seeing as this was September in Florida, that night we all got torn apart by no-see-ums and Mosquitos in our tents. Nobody really slept.
Picture
Caption: The next morning everyone was out of their tents before the sun even came up.
Picture
Caption: We set to work making breakfast, opening cans with a knife because we forgot a can opener.
Picture
Picture
Caption: Cooking in camp is always a highlight. This is more than oatmeal or hot dogs.
Picture
Caption: After breakfast we decided we'd rather not have another night of misery, so we packed up and struck out for the mainland.
Picture
Caption: A bit bummed it didn't work out as planned, but sometimes that's part of the adventure. We learn from it and it makes us better.
Picture
Caption: Since we had enough food for a second night, we decide to bring the party home.
