Thank you !

I would like to do the entire length of the system, a distance of 202 km from Kingston to Ottawa at one point.

Having said that the 65 km I did this time is the best and most scenic part of it.

My wife and I dream of having a tiny house boat one day to cruise the Rideau in the summer

Well at least none of the knives seem worn out. Nothing like being out in full blown nature to make one feel enriched and exhausted. What a wonderful excursion - glad you shared it with us Dan.

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday. Since it was the only decent weather day so far we crammed in a lot of bike riding. I’m terrible at taking pictures when we are doing stuff. I’m always thinking later that I should have taken more pictures.
Clinch Park Beach over my wife’s shoulder.

Sail boats on Boardman Lake

A few ducks we saw along the bike path that went around the lake.
The sail boats were on one end of the Lake where the Boardman River leaves the lake, here is the other end where the Boardman enters the lake (over my daughter’s shoulder).

Me too. Went for a motorcycle ride yesterday. Did not take a single pic. With the bike humming beneath me, and the road clear in front of me, stopping wasn't on my mind

Here are a few pictures from the kayak part of the tour we did yesterday. I was too busy trying to catch and bump into my son to take many pictures. That’s my son in the red shirt paddling furiously to get away from me!

Hi Josh, wondering how long the migration upriver lasts for the salmon.

Awesome my friend , I am glad the weather improved and you got to enjoy time outdoors with the family with two great activities.

Interesting trivia LOL
Looks like you and I live in approx. the same latitude about 860 km apart I think I will take Esperanza one of this days and go visit you, we should be somehow connected by water

 

[CelloDan]

Thank you RayseM , JohnDF , redsparrow , mbkr , RLB0414 for you kind words regarding my Rideau adventure

Here is shot of my ebony lamb, close to home, overlooking the Saint Lawrence River

That would be great, but we are only visiting here, but you and Esperanza are welcome to visit you’ll just have to make a left turn at the Mississippi and head to the St. Louis area!

Hi Josh, wondering how long the migration upriver lasts for the salmon.

I think it's lasting so long because we're quite a ways from the ocean, Columbia River, then Willamette then McKenzie so they get spread out a bit. Another thing that surprised me is at first it's mostly wild fish coming up then gradually changes to mostly hatchery.

Hope you guys/gals with plenty of water appreciate it. On the way to town today, I drove by Dorris Reservoir (one of the biggest in our area) and this is the state it's in. Notice the family of geese (mom & dad with three young ones) having just left their nest and heading for the nearest water. Normally every thing brown in this picture is covered with water. We are in a full blown drought. I had a knife in this picture but hat to edit it out to give a better picture of what's going on out here.



They even had to put a No Off Roading sign up to keep the idiots off.
