saturday to aberdeen

Saturday... why not go on an adventure. a well rounded adventure that includes, but is not limited to the following; 4x4ing, fishing, canoeing, pelletguns, campfires and exploration. so thats what we did. packed up the truck with mike lau and headed up beaver lake rd. to aberdeen lake. i'd never been there before, so thats always sweet. the weather was threatening rain, but we headed out anyway, and 75% of the day was rain free.

after beaver lake rd, we took some of the roads less traveled by.  the first one was a trail that tom and i had been on before.  a short trail from beaver lake rd. to haddo lake.

up the road to haddo lake

the haddo lake dam

After leaving the haddo lake dam, it was time to hit some new trails.we randomly arrived at the haddo lake rec site.  a small little site that is certainly worth a visit in the future.

the rec. site.  a big rv was there, but i left it out of the picture

Then towards aberdeen lake. some of the roads were a little rough, and i'm not sure how we would have found our way without the backroads map book on the gps. best invention ever.  We got to the dam at the bottom of aberdeen lake and decided that was the place to chill.  We lit a fire and out came the pellet guns.  good times were had.

we got into the canoe to try for some fish, but we were only on the lake for 25 minutes before the spitting rain turned to pouring rain and headed back to the shelter of the trees.

no trip is totally complete without a random drive by from a random car. here's  a bmw that rally'd by. 

About 5 o'clock it was time to make our way back out. we tok a few new roads and ended up back at beaver lake rd. without too much trouble.

and the road gets a little smaller

we stopped quiclky at doreen lake to check it out. we had been there before, but we felt we needed to check it out again. we also stopped at a random slash pile to cut a bit more firewood. can't get enough of that wonderful stuff.

It was another successful weekend of missioning. there is still maybe one or two canoe trips left before fishing involves an ice auger. you should come. it'll be fun...
