Back in the day, we used to make a yearly trip to Lac La Ronge in Northern Saskatchewan. The purpose of the trip was to spend some great times with great friends aboard a houseboat that one of them owned. La Ronge is wonderful in that it is a big lake with hundreds of islands and is secluded enough that chances are good that you will not see another person for the time you are out there. And the fishing is terrific.
The boat couldn’t sleep everyone, so we would find a spot on Bear Island (our favourite) and pitch a bunch of tents. We would use the spot as a base of operations for the time we were up there. Speaking of bears, there are definitely bears on Bear Island. If you squint real hard, you can see the bear that destroyed our tent as it runs off into the forest. Needless to say, we did not spend the night on the island this time. The tents were struck and we moved on. Unfortunately we had to rename the next island Mosquito Island. A pretty miserable night, thank heaven for beer.
The next shot is Rapid River. This very short river connects Lac La Ronge to Hale Lake. The significance is that the people who owned the boat are Hale’s. The back story is that lakes in Northern Saskatchewan are named in the memory of soldiers who died in Canada’s wars. All of them have a plaque noting who the lake is named for. This lake is named after their uncle, who was an airman in WW2. He died in the Netherlands.
All in all, a beautiful place to go, full of memories, none bad.
Is It Possible To See It All 
Even a bad day running from bears (and mosquitoes) is better than a good day at the office.
Especially with a mouthful of prime canadian beer, washing down some perfectly done fresh Lake Trout.
Ok, now you’re just showing off. 😉
Yep
We met a couple from La Ronge Saskatchewan last spring in Los Cabos!
Lac La Ronge is nicer lol
Any post with thank goodness for beer is good with me bears are scary and mosquitos suck. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Hey Becca. I see you’ve taken a bit of a break as well. Nice to see you again. Reminds to drop by and refresh myself
I did. I was wearing myself out. Now I’m posting every few weeks. It satisfies me need to write but so time consuming.
I like to post regular, but yes the time is crazy. Do lots of short ones just to drain the brain. Save the longer ones for my travel posts. Talk soon, like I said, great to hear from you.
You too! ((Hugs))
