As I wake I hear all the beautiful songbird’s singing and I rise to what seems to be a perfect day for sightseeing, no wind, still waters and a cloudless sky. I excitedly wake TCW and tell her, she’s up in record time. I bring some leftover pancakes and hash browns from the day before, for the trip TCW says its garbage and she’ll stick to Gorp. We hit Curtain first and see all sorts of fungus and plant life along the way. We hear the fall’s as we approach and what a sight, water just gushing over the falls. We spend an hour there eating and taking lots of photos and enjoying the day. We head over to Rebecca falls and I don’t realize that the water flows into McAree Lake and we start to back track to the portage and are disappointed that we can’t see them from the end of the portage. TCW call’s me chicken because I wouldn’t portage the canoe over to McAree Lake, but being worried about the Canadians I refuse to do it. As we paddle back we take it slow and ponder the last few days and how much fun we had then it starts to hit us we only have a few day’s left. When we return to camp we eat dinner and our little friend shows up again, this time the otter feels safe with us and he put on a show for us for 20 minutes letting me take shot after shot as if he was modeling for me. Perhaps to say goodbye .this is a memory I’ll never forget he came within 15’ of me checking me out. As we sit there TCW throw’s some bread in the water for the minnows to feast on, in a few minutes a turtle shows up and I say it didn’t take that turtle long to smell that bread. As each minute passes more and more show up and I’m perplexed what is going on? as the sun was going down there were at least 30 turtles out there all sizes, then it all became clear as they made their way to shore, turtle love was in the air. They were making nest all over the site. Tomorrow we leave and we hit the sack early.
