Pinawa Retreat

I enjoyed a faculty retreat at Pinawa's Wilderness Edge for a couple days this past week and managed to do some escaping on my mountain bike with a good friend from Red Rock days and his son. We managed to squeeze in almost 29kms on some good trails & a long road that led to the old Pinawa town site and dam. Really neat construction & remains at the other end. It was slow going on the way back due to their dog being a little out of shape but we enjoyed some wild plums during our rest stops. Next day our recreation consisted of a float down the Pinawa channel in an inflatable raft and tubes - ended up swimming in a tube for about a good third of the river. I was hoping to try out some rowing with a former student of mine but it unfortunately didn't work out - maybe next time I'm in Pinawa? All in all - a good escape but now I have lots to do before the college year begins. Hopefully - a few more times at Star Lake though before things kick into gear!
