Some places and some people are worth revisiting. Many years ago we went on a road trip with good friends,
this year we decided to vacation together again at Spruce Woods Provincial Park. We took 2 canoes and paddled up the Assiniboine River,
our goal was the Devil’s Punch Bowl. There were many times along the way we didn’t think that we were going to make it. We stopped for a shell hunt/fishing break,
a little pep talk and we are on our way again. Different people needed pep talks at different times as the exhaustion, frustration and blisters came out. We eventually spotted the canoe launch stairs, but they were like 14ft up the steep river bank. Creative minds and pure determination to make our goal kicked in and we reached the Punch Bowl.
This is our route paddling and hiking according to L’s watch.
One new adventure was enough for us. The rest of the time was spent hiking the Spirit Sands trail and playing in the sand dunes, fishing, enjoying the beach, sitting around the fire, resting in the comforts of a cabin and soaking in the hot tub.
Thank you for your friendship.
thanks for sharing this with us.
