On their way home from the cottage, Grandpa, Grant and Barbara
joined the K&K family for a super dinner of Quebec Unibroue beer, lake
trout and raspberry cheesecake on their front deck… the photos speak for
themselves…

Paddling the Coulonge River
July 24, 2020
The Bowman boys had an exciting 3-day white water paddling
trip with their parents on the Coulonge River near Fort Coulonge/Ottawa River. When Grandpa and Barbara met them at the -Terry
Fox Bridge, their take out point, they were celebrating a successful trip. Grandpa and Barbara shuttled Papa’s car back
from their put in point. It took a little longer than estimated for the shuttle
to the bridge as Grandpa explored some possible put in points (no car) on back
country trails before finding Papa’s car parked on the main road close to their
put in at Chutes Enragées It was good to
get together at the bridge and to see everyone in high spirits. We had a picnic lunch together. Then it was time to portage from the river up
to the road and get all the canoeing equipment packed.
As our group was close to Chutes Coulonge Historical Park,
everyone agreed we would check the story of the logging era. We all learned a lot about the challenges of
logging the river. And it was exciting to watch a lady cross the raging river
on a zip wire. The museum at the end was very interesting as the boys could
touch and handle the logging tools. Sam
captured a wood frog. Finally, we saw a few young people on an aerial trek.
What a visit!
