On Sunday May 9th, Ryan and I took eight of the neighborhood kids canoeing. Each boat was armed with a disposable camera. These are the pictures from Khalif, Terrance and Dada's boat.

Tribal Canoe Journeys of Pacific Northwest Native American Tribes, a significant cultural event that takes place once a year.
The Puyallup Tribe of Washington State was the host tribe for 2018 for all the Canoes sent by other tribes along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Tribes all along the coast traveled via paddling their traditional Ocean Canoes, beautiful, functional and ornate! These Canoe teams traveled from as far as Alaska, including far stretches of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and far stretches of Oregon Coast. Paddling for 4 to 6 six hours a day, some for over ten days, battling ocean current, heat and sheer physical exhaustion.
Each Canoe was fitted with a GPS Transponder and its latest position was updated in 30min intervals in the Website : paddletopuyallup.org/
The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission has much better photos from this year's canoe journey: www.flickr.com/photos/nwifc/sets/72157624769504402/
the lighting of the new swimming pools is very orange, by the way, if you're wondering about the colouring of these photos...

From 2004, myself canoeing on the Manistee River in northern lower Michigan with Abby and my parents. Rather pleased with how it came out, and I love that hat. ^^ The Manistee is a really beautiful and gentle river, and was a pretty big logging artery back in its day.
