Paddle from Arowhon past the rock where we got married (campsite was occupied) down to search for archeological clues to the town of Joe Lake that existed 80 years ago, according to a book Bash is reading. Not much left, but we found a few bits of rusty metal.

As we got into the lodge canoe to head back, I found a half-meter crack in the bottom of the hull that was flexing and leaking slightly. It was only held together by the gelcoat and outer single layer of glass, so we headed straight back, close to shore before it turned into the Titanic.

Nice ride with Bash in Algonquin Park from Lake of 2 rivers up along the old railway (flat), with some exploring of side roads that were spectacular and hilly.






We were surprised by a big bull moose who emerged out of the swamp right beside us and crossed maybe 10M in front of us. He gave us an "eh" look and headed off down the trail and into the bush. I'll try to post a pic, but my old digital camera is very slow on the zoom so it's tiny.



Bull moose in rut can be extremely dangerous, but for some reason I thought rut season was late October-November. Bash looked it up, and it's actually rut season now. Oy.

C • "Looked it up" 6

Hard Core class with Caron.
Despite doing strength with some core for quite a while, I'll be sore tomorrow.

Looks like my balance is pretty good from all the kneehab, but my hamstring flexibility is terrible. Avoided the Pigeon like the plague.

Foothab, kneehab, workout 3 + some KBs. Still only a feeble 8 strict pullups from dead-hang.

Still feeling the cold, but it's a perfect summer day out. First lap with both dogs, where BZdog hauled so hard I got his spiky pinch collar for the second half. Took him to work via the Charlevoix hills and Wheelie's pond.

No cross-dressers in skimpy outfits today.

Easy night run home.

Easy jog-hike with Bulletdog respecting my cold and ankle (which seems improved). The fence barrier is open, but my route is all cut up with heavy construction anyway.

Commute with the big guy.
The gate that was recently unboarded by the conservation area was now blockaded by a big pile of logs and branches, which took me about 10 minutes to clear. After that, my route is all cut up with construction work on the next phase of houses. Sigh.

Passing under Hwy 50, I surprised a tall cross-dresser in a tight skirt, high heels and a skimpy top adjusting his(or is it her) outfit under the bridge. Now that's not something you see every day on a trail in Palgrave.

Ride home was much less eventful- I just needed to get around the graded earth.

C • That's interesting....:) 11

Ankle is a bit swollen and internally bruised. Not too sore to walk on as long as I don't bend it over, but guess I'd better go easy on it for a while.

Hauled and split 2 loads of wood, and did workout 3. Limited foot/kneehab due to ankle.
