Frank (Sparky500), Sarah (Li'lspark), and I met up with Jay (JayJayCache), and Darryl (BugFinders) at Sandy Lake in Buckhorn. I have to admit this was the nicest swimming and paddling I've ever done, with the clearest water I've ever seen in Ontario. The geocaches were awesome, and even included some underwater finds.
Li'lspark was smart enough to have brought goggles, so she was pretty much indispensable, even though she stole Jay's spot in the canoe and had him paddling her kayak instead.
First round of craft brews were a selection from Big Rock Brewery, which we've tried before, they never disappoint, and were perfect for a hot day in the sun.
Many cottages, docks (and ducks - thanks for the reminder autocorrect!), and impromptu jumps in the lake to cool down, we find all 30 geocaches, had a quick swim, and celebrated with the new Gose series from Wellington Brewery. Gose beers are quite sour and take a bit of getting used to, but they're perfect for summer and are perfect for paddling!
If you've never been to Sandy Lake, bump it to the top of your list, and make sure to bring your canoes, your brews, your GPS, and great friends along with you!
Cheers, and happy caching!
Frank (Sparky500), and Julie (Sparkel)
