Day 6 and Day 7
... we headed back to the lodge for a Shepard Pie dinner. We ended our day with a presentation from Don, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman.

Steffie and I hadn't been up in 2 weeks because we were feeling a little sore after last time so we were keen to get back into the action.
