12 Jul Oh, well”¦
Today we had a big event happen, we were driving to Muncho Lake, on the Alaskan Highway in northern British Columbia, and Dad stopped to hike along the highway to find something to paint, while we were at the RV. He called us on the special radio he had with him that he was going to leave his pack on the side of the road and run to
the RV because the pack was a bit too heavy and we could drive back and get it. When we drove the RV back to the place where he left his pack, it wasn”™t there. Someone had stolen it! We asked a couple of bikers if they saw or knew about the pack. We checked and called many gas stations, and campgrounds to see if somebody left it there at a lost and found. But no luck.
There was stuff that was valuable in the pack, but they were all replacable. We ended at the Muncho Lake and used the payphone to call some relatives and say hi. In the end we had a beautiful spot beside the lake and slept like logs.

e had oatmeal for breakfast, and went swimming. While swimming, Mom and Dad stopped putting the tent away to watch us for a little while. While they were watching us, Sydney noticed something, she said 
one gigantic green one landed right next to Mom on the camera case and it was too bad that she couldn”™t get a picture of him. Then, Mom noticed 2 huge minnows with strange markings on their back. When a big group of small minnows swam by the big ones, they ambushed the small guys! They were definitely baby pike, and we also saw a baby smallmouth bass!
eways! What a sight! 
We went to pick up our almost 21 foot canoe for our trip today at Wild Waters Wilderness Shop in Thunder Bay. A man named Dennis Davidson dropped off the canoe there for us, and the paddles for it too. There was even a river next to us so we could test it out. It flew like a bird! We also met the owner of the shop, Bruce Hyers, who invited us to park our RV on his property that night.
This morning we woke up in the loft the Smedley’s Cabin, ready for a new day. We went swimming again in the lake and that refreshed us a lot. We had a nourishing breakfast and spent a good lot of time on their trampoline. We had such a wonderful, fun, time there, and I hope we end up seeing them again before we go back home. 
Today we visited an old friend, Dave Wells and his dog Tigger. He lives in Wawa and owns “Naturally Superior Adventures” and there they give tours, own a paddle shop and teach kayak lessons. They have a chef, a boathouse and tons of kayaks and some canoes.
A few days ago, we had a change of plan: we would leave on Monday for the trip instead. So we left yesterday in the RV for Wawa, our first destination. A few hours later, there was an absolutely horrible smell. It was coming from the bathroom. We tried to flush the smell out, but it didn”™t work. Thank heavens we went to the Oastler Lake Provincial Park. We emptied the bathroom tanks into a machine they had for RV’s that led to a big hole underground. Then we stayed overnight there. Our first night sleeping in the RV was wonderful. We kept the window screens open and we got a spot next to Oastler Lake. In the morning Sydney even petted a chipmunk and fed him from her hand. Now were on the road again, waiting to get to Wawa.
