Nothing like having your morning coffee in a Canadian mug eh!

So glad we are almost in golden! It's been a tough go, but it's all worth it!!

Looking forward to feeling the canoe under my bum! It's been the longest portage I've done to date. My paws are tired but my energy is high and I'm itching to get out on that water. Now if I could only get the rest of the team going! Here is a little tidbit about this lake!! Kinbasket is a reservoir on the Columbia River in southeast British Columbia, north of the city of Revelstoke and the town of Golden. The reservoir was created by the construction of the Mica Dam. The ...lake includes two reaches, Columbia Reach (to the south) and Canoe Reach (to the north), referring to the river valleys flooded by the dam. The original, smaller Kinbasket Lake was named in 1866 after Kinbasket, a chief of the Shuswap people. The modern, large lake was created after the completion of the Mica Dam in 1973, and was called McNaughton Lake (after Andrew McNaughton) until 1980. A number of small communities were inundated by the creation of Kinbasket Lake, and comprised a region known as the Big Bend Country, a subregion of the Columbia Country. Among these towns were Mica, Big Bend, Downie, Boat Encampment, La Porte and Beavermouth.

There is a cute Pomeranian Husky waiting for me in Avola BC and I told her we would see her tomorrow! Let's get to it Mike Ranta's Paddle....These paws are made for walking, and that's just what they will do! Photo: Explore David Jackson
