ON to Tha Franch Day 1-3

Scott and I getting our caffeine!

Enjoying some samosas and curry dishes...except Bri.
 Shes just faking. :) Notice how the rice is the only thing eaten off her plate?

Day 1: Canadian Greenhouse Conference in Niagara Falls for the day, Fine Indian Cuisine by night, St Catharines!

Day 2:  Starting the morning with some fresh, organic and fair trade Dark Roast coffee @ the St. Catharines, Market Square :)

Then a long drive ahead of us to Chapeau, Quebec. Woo!!!

Little House on the Prairie revisited?

We found this mini Trading Post (pictures below) posing as an artistic depiction of an old Saloon town, complete with "Big Liz'z Boarding House", an "Ambulance", Barber shop, an Indian village, a cemetary and even an "Under Takers".  From the road, we actually thought it was real!

It was somewhere off of Highway 41, just South of Pembroke.

Inside, you will find a real store, selling your usual native goods such as; mocassins, dream catchers, deer antlers etc.

 Just arriving at Provincial Park du Gatineau, Secteur Lac La Peche

After 3 days of driving, conferencing, exploring, and a night partying in Cheapeau, QB, we are over tired, and giddy with our second wind when we realize we have reached our destination! 

We packed the canoe, equipped with whatever we needed for the trip and started making way to our paddle-in only campsite across Lac La Peche. It was an extremely warm day for October, about 26 degrees Celsius! And as we arrived, the sun was on its way down...:)

I was pleasantly surprised to find a completely isolated campsite on a peninsula awaiting us. It was the cleanest campsite I think Ive ever seen. It was very well-treed, no gravel (ew),had immediate access to the water, and was well stocked with fire wood and even had its own outhouse, which was also the cleanest Ive seen. Ever. My experience at Lac La Peche was awesome, and I when I left I wished I could just stay a liiiiittle bit longer. I would definitely recommend this campground. It is phenomenol.
