No...you are not butting in on the post.

I have to agree with everyone here so far. We have a really beautiful park just a few miles from us called Black Moshannon. I don't know if they allow dogs in the boat rentals but it is worth checking out.

I have no idea whether or not Sequoia likes water. We haven't really tested her on that. We did take her up to Black Moshannon one morning and were walking on some boardwalks across the bog to get to a lookout area. We did have a hard time keeping her from jumping into the water. So she might like diving in. But the point of the canoing is for her NOT to dive in. I shudder to think about how difficult it would be in the middle of the lake to get her back into the canoe.

I am pretty sure I have the hubby convinced that this trip is not the one to go canoing. Perhaps next year after we have tried her out with it and have a week or so there we might do that. Now I am not talking about any rivers or rapids here. I am talking about calm lakes and such. Fast moving rivers and rapids would just be suicidal.

The whole thing just makes me laugh. I picture the chaos and just start to giggle. I would love to someday get back into shape and do a portage trip but they don't allow dogs in the interior of the park anyway because of the bears and wolves. It really is a spectacular park.
