Wild Blue Berries and the Madawaska

Rien Olga and Marc went down the Madawaska too

At the Mew lake portage I joined them to play in the water


Walking from there I saw this sign of a bear


You know what he has been eating!

Algonquin

A picture from last year, while we are curently in Algonquin

Madawaska River

Rien and I went down the Madawaska river
from 'Cash lake' to 'Lake of two Rivers'
For a few hours we didn't meet any people
There are 4 portages on this part of the river


Lots of bever works; dams and lodges
We saw only 1 beaver, the rest were in hiding


Sometimes we got stuck on the beaver dams



We stopped at this rock and had a nice overview


We were looking for wild life and suddenly saw...


... a Bear it was scary when it looked directly at me

Really,I'm fine....

This cow has a sore leg but she likes to lay down beside the road

people stop and wonder???


But when you get closer she moves and it all starts to look better
