#CharlestonLake
#OurPurpleCanoe

Paddling around is a great way to see nature.  With the exception of the snake, these pics were taken from the canoe paddling along the shoreline, mostly in the area around Whitefish Island.
On our last day there when packing up, we were fortunate to see the #BlackRatSnake slither acrosss the road right in front of our campsite - a nice way to end another wonderful camping experience at #CharlestonLkPP

Preparations underway or as I like to say, crammin' it in

Here is a shot inside our hardtop this evening.  Everything seems to fit so far, what is strange though, is that we have a few extra items than we did last year but there seems to be more room available.  Either we are becoming better 'packers' or it is some sort of optical illusion (maybe a delusion...)
Tomorrow is supposed to be dry during the day so we will be able to button things up.  So looking forward to this camping trip to #CharlestonLkPP.  4 more sleeps but whose counting,

A little preview

Here is a little slide show of a few things that keeps #thepurplecanoe coming back to #CharlestonLkPP - it just scatches the surface of things to see.

Lots to photograph

Just doing a little day-dreaming.

#CharlestonLkPP  -  Soon enough #thepurplecanoe will be doing a little paddling here.

(the sooner the better of course!)
