An afternoon walk to check on my canoe

I took some time one afternoon, to go check on a canoe I have stashed on a nearby lake... I was concerned that a moose may have tried to walk over it when it was buried with snow last winter.

Plastic canoes do not hold up well to being stepped on my moose!!

So I took my dog and a camera and made the short journey to inspect it... Come on along with me enjoy an little jont through the woods!
My dog comes along, but only makes a brief cameo before disappearing off into the woods.... 

It's nice to be able to just keep my canoe on the lake, ready for instant use if the need arises... There are fish in those waters and I am to rarely going after them. A situation I soon intend to remedy!!
Thanks for watching.. I hope you enjoyed my little trek. Come back soon and maybe we'll just go fishing together!!
