The Best Weekend at Jackfish Ever!        By: Samantha

Me and Esme pronounced this was the best weekend at Jackfish ever!  And the reasoning is because we got to build and try out a bunch of new things.  Some of these things include kayaking, building a new firepit on the beach, putting up the Canadian flag, and building our own hot tub!!!


This is Samantha, Darrell and Esme getting ready to paddle around St. Patrick's Island. They paddled a full 12 km that day, it was pretty awesome.


Off they go!

This metal tub survived the forest fire so we figured it was perfect for a hot tub on the beach. Darrell, Sam and Esme dragged it down to the beach. They propped it up on bricks and put a fire pit beneath it in an old metal cabinet they found in the bush. After they warmed up the water they were ready to get in.



The water was too hot to just jump in the tub so they needed some more Lake Superior water to cool it down, and a piece of plywood to sit on. Then those brave northern girls ran into the lake (4 degrees)


Our good friends Gwen and Judy joined us for our first weekend back to Jackfish this summer. We were able to make this great new fire pit at the beach with these logs that arrived with a big fall storm. It was a gorgeous night and we even ate our dinner down here.
