Rod Caster Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 We finally hooked up with Dana for a camping trip this summer. Abby is only 3 months old and this was the first time we took her in the canoe/camping, and Caius (Dana's boy) is not quite 2yrs old, so we opted for an easy-access lake with nice campsites. Dana suggested Anima-Nipissing. It was a great choice for this kind of trip. We left home a foggy moring, mist rising over my fancy cross-rail system. Abby in her first PFD. We laughed! She was stiff as a board in that thing which made it easier to carry that squirmy kid. Dana and I put in lots of time looking for lakers. No such luck. The walleye we nowhere to be found either. A few bass and we called it a night. The kids did quite well. I think Caius' favorite parts were throwing stones into the lake and swimming. My two girls slept as I snuck out for some lakers...again no luck....jeeeezz That was that for our short trip with the kids. Good times and more to come!!

adolson Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looks like you got much nicer pics than I did, but here's a few more anyhow. The first night, something was desperately trying to get onto our island... Looks like a bear was hungry for a midnight people-burritos-on-a-platter-in-the-middle-of-the-lake snack. Luckily, the algae was super slippery and we scared it away, only to find the evidence the next morning. Caius playing with some "toys." Caius and Abby - actually looking at Chad, but I liked the picture. And a couple pics I took with my phone. We all had fun, even though we couldn't get any trout. Thanks for coming out!

Rod Caster Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 looks like a great time. How'd those no-see-ums like you this time Chad? Man, this year has been horrible for me! They say you develop immunity, but I've seen no such thing happening. This trip however, the burning midges weren't so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucG Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 What a perfect campsite, and even nicer scenic shots! Too bad the fish didn't cooperate, although luckily looks like the weather did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
