Family, canoeing, outdoor travel and memories from Steven’s early life.
This is Steven with his Dad, Brother Gordon and sister Julia. This is on the Portage between Two Lake and Three lake on the way to Mantario Lake.Epic portage between Gammon River and Bloodvein River, after a forest fire. No trail just downfall and miles. Probably all nice and forestry now.Taking the lazy way to the top of the mountain – WhislterRandom photo at "Water fall" somewhere deep in the Boreal Forest. I think water was a thing at that moment! At that time you could drink the water almost anywhere…Steven in the Old style Winnipeg Jets shirt with his brother Gordon and sister Julia. ( 2 out of the 3 of us used to be so cute…)This must of been some sort of grad… I never used to wear a suit!I remember this moment… I began to sink into the muskeg and needed help. My dad said " Yep sure, but first lets get a photo" This was in early Spring, it was the ice which stopped me from going any further.As someone from the prairie, this was probably the biggest bolder I have ever seen! 1993 BCStrange picture of Steven sliding some slimy rock on a gorgeous Blue lake with rocky shores in the Canadian Shield.Another canoe trip on a remote lake with my favorite little sister.Back Country skiing much better to be a muskeg in the winter then in the summer… I’m just saying! Dress appropriately of course, ( it was probably -5000 degrees, but after -20 it doesn’t really matter) You live or you die.)Some body is not happy about their birthdayOn a mountain top pointing to Winnipeg?Mantario Cabin getting everything ready for the naturalists 1990.This is there to show the latest in computer technology.
