The Great Escape

The young gardening apprentice and I managed a blissful escape for several days to a refuge without roads, cars, irrigation lines or shovels. We paddled the Main Lake chain on Quadra Island to refresh ourselves and take a well deserved break from the daily grind of farm start-up (as fascinating as it can be).
