LEAVING CURLEW LAKE

Good morning!
    I sit here, looking out on the lake for the last time this year. Packed and ready to go, I enjoy one or two last pots of coffee in Curlew Lake Canoe Camp. It's been one to remember!
    Melissa and Tom Rose have been wonderful to me and the canoes! I have told them of my intention to return, and finish the canoes in the Spring. They will let me leave my camping gear here, to facilitate that endeavor. I have TWO CANOES to finish, here, and won't feel right until I have them done! I'm going to try and have a moment with each of them, before I roll out of here, this morning. I'll miss those trees! I really BOND with the trees, when I work on them. I am one with the trees. Truth.
     Can't keep playin' on this computer... gotta load-up!
                               CANOE! CANOE!

WINDING DOWN

Good morning!
    Today, in theory, I will meet the legendary "Bearpaw". Maybe. He and Peter Tack are like me... on "river time". This guy has been doing wood-carving in Ferry County for years, and I like his work! I'm anxious to show him the two canoes! Meanwhile, I have friends waiting to see me, as I make my way across the states... AGAIN!

SNOW!

Good morning!
    I finally got my travel plans secured, after yesterday, after going just about CRAZY in the process! I'm thinking about cleaning up her bottom. WAS thinking... it's SNOWING, as I write this morning! There's a light coat on the whole area, but the snow just kicked in, again! I'm so glad we flipped the little canoe!!! I should have oiled the bottom immediately, but I DID figure on a little touch-up, first. We'll see how much it snows...

                          CANOE! CANOE!

WINDING DOWN

Good morning!
     Not much to say, today. Canoe Camp is winding down, and Winter has started rolling in. Another journey is looming, yet this one is incomplete. The TREES have the magic, and help me on MY journeys, as I do, with them. I'll wax poetic soon enough, about THIS camp. I'm writing lyrics for my first BAND... 

                                CANOE! CANOE!

FIRE

Good morning!
    As I continue making plans to move...somewhere... the cold, wet weather is moving in! Late last night, a crew of pyros came and lit the piles of wood on fire. It was planned, using the term loosely. Got some great shots of the BIG pine, with the fire behind it! I'll be wrapping up Canoe Camp soon, and watching it come to a FIERY FINISH was kind of COOL!

Crazy

Good morning!
     Crazy day in camp, yesterday! (too much to tell) Haven't been choppin' so much, but I'm busy looking for my next direction... I'm probably heading towards Colorado,but nothing is in stone. I'm going to start a rock and roll band! I've decided to IMMERSE MYSELF in my music, and let the lyrics FLOW! I've had writing binges, but never got serious about it. Now, I'm ready to rock!
                                Canoe! Canoe!
