Petawawa

visit #1, July 29-30, 2001

Les and Megan Middleton are old friends from the SF Bay area in California. They now live near Ottawa and have
a summer cottage on an island in Petawawa. Since we were "in the neighborhood" we had to drop by for a visit.


We rented a car on Sunday and headed to Petawawa.


Les and Megan were not expecting us, so we bummed a

boat ride from their neighbor Tim Riley. Thanks Tim!

Scott didn't find anyone home at the island cottage.

Tim Riley drove away and left us to fend for ouselves..

Les, Meg and the kids showed up a few minutes later.

Alex showed us some of his daring stunts.

Maybe insane is a better adjective than daring. ;-)

Matthew and Robert were much easier to catch on film.

One more for good measure.

The next day we headed out for Lake Wuzzo.

The cliffs below Wuzzo gave a great echo.

The trail up to the lake got pretty steep in places.

Boy were we glad to reach to top and jump in.

No frog or tadpole was safe with Alex present.

We also saw a good sized snapping turtle.
