Hunter was up at the butt-crack of dawn- just before 6. So him and dad played in the camper and I went fishing. I love fishing. I seriously love it- but the fish don't love me. I have the worst luck and that didn't change this weekend. A guy fishing beside me with his fly rod was catching heaps of fish, so I guess it is time to learn how to use mine. After a breakfast of side pork and pancakes we drove further down the South Canol Road and found a nice pull out along the Rose River. We were all a little tired so we had a great family nap before lunch. I did some more fishing there with no luck.
We drove back the way we can to the Lapie River for our second night. There were about 4 unmaintained campsites where we were at- but we were the only ones there. We had a fun evening playing by the fire, me still trying to catch fish, eating supper, and more playing by the fire. Hunter went to sleep a bit easier but still later, I think it was around 9 when he went to sleep. The fresh air must have gotten to all of us and we slept until 8am on Sunday. Had a yummy breakfast of french toast and sausages and I tried fishing again while Matt and Hunter played in the sand and packed up.
We drove into Ross River to have lunch, pick up some groceries and fill up the truck. Then back to Faro to relax for the afternoon. The scenery on the South Canol Road is second to none. That is the most beautiful drive we have ever taken and can't wait to drive the whole road. Enjoy the pictures!
Us set up on the Lapie River:
He has so many bug bites I was calling him Mr. Lumpy today:

Our kid loves the truck!
The road gets pretty narrow at times, but it was pretty well maintained. I would not recommend taking a car down here though:
There are so many rivers and creeks and in this one was a vehicle!
Of course his favorite book had to come with us:
I bet we read this book 20 times over the weekend:

So very very cool. When are you taking a road trip to Saskatchewan???
Hopefully next summer actually!
And then on to Ottawa, right?
But I thought you were coming up here next summer :)
Wow... :D I always thought that the Yukon page was always consistently the best one in the Calendar. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos
Well I figured if you were driving, a couple of days farther east would be okay! So we're meeting in the middle now? :-P
that is so beautiful! Ava is crazy over pancake with syrup too.
Nope, you are meeting me here at my house and I will cook you and Pav pancakes :)
Will the pancakes have your berries in them? And can we have that cake you made when I visited last time?
Looks like a lot of fun. Next time, throw some bacon on a hook and let it sit on the bottom. I use heavy jig heads. You will have lots of luck then! Find the pools where the current isn't as strong. Great scenery, reminds me of when I was in Fort Ware. Awesome sights!
