RoseMarie Condon

short work description:

Making our way by boat to the far end of Frood Lake we hike through a forest of tall golden trees eventually reaching the near shore of Grace Lake, we paddled a canoe to the far end where bright red trees seem to march through the cleft in the La Cloche Mountains. This is known as the notch, it leads to beautiful on Nellie Lake.
