Living Off the Edge: River Rapids to Homestead Bliss - Epic Adventures & Harvesting Dreams!
River life on the Magnetawan has included some wilderness exploration and homestead work as of late. I finished my four-day whitewater adventure down the Magnetawan with adventure seekers @TheRealTedBaird @XanderBudnick @MaximBudnick and my dog North. Right off the hop, we portaged around a beautiful waterfall and soon began soloing a demanding whitewater rapid. I caught a nice Northern Pike on a Mepps spoon and before too long we'd made it to our end point at Georgian Bay.
This adventure capped off four trips I'd done in the weeks prior and I hadn't spent much time with my family in recent days. On my return home, my wife Tori and I had our work cut out for us. We planned to grow a large amount of our food this year and preserve it for the winter months. I returned home with a fish fry and then we got to work. We hauled soil, build raised bed gardens, and planted two three sisters gardens of corn, beans, and squash as well as pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes, and more! It felt good to get a lot done before our next adventure...this one with the whole family along.
