Bannock testing

This AM Ryan and Meg from Kingston came up for a canoe trip. Ryan had contacted me last year re a canoe trip from Gowganda to Matachewan. They arrived around 9:30 and unloaded the canoe and gear in the garage, then we drove both vehicles to Matachewan, he left his car at the boat launch and they came back to the house with me. We loaded the canoe and their packs into the truck and I dropped them off at Edith Lake. This was their first canoe trip which was starting in the rain and a strong north wind heading for Obushkong. I hope they will be OK.
The rest of the day was bannock testing and I think I got a good one for the trip. It will be all premixed, just add water and cook. Cover with butter and jam and well you know.
Still finding all sorts things we should take on our trip, more to carry on portages. Hopefully tomorrow will be bright and sunny, good for pics

The delivered specimen of the latest bannock was indeed up to the usual high standard expected from a bannock "Pro". The taster "Pros (Paul & Gert)", say "Yum"!!

Glad to hear you liked it. From the "Pros" that's like a gold seal isn't it.

Hey, glad to see your preparations include bannock! There is more stuff accumulating in my living room than you can shake a stick at. Excitement is mounting, safe to say.
