Yes, that's George using his new gizmo - a device to portage our canoe.
We have to hike into a few lakes over in Eastern Washington, and yesterday we tried this out on Lenice Lake. It straps on easy, and can be folded, then put in the canoe if we want to portage from lake to lake, which we've done a few times.
It works surprisingly well, and we did about a half-mile portage with it. I was glad there was no traffic on this road, as it took George awhile to get his steering down.
The lake was accessible only by portaging, so very few people were there. It is primarily a fisherman's lake, filled with 14" trout and big frogs. I was able to film 3 horned-owls at very close range. It was a beautiful day, very sunny and warm.
When our paddle was over, we loaded the canoe up on the gizmo and George pulled the canoe up while I pushed it up a sandbank that was about 40 feet high. We were sure huffin' and puffin' when we got done. We wiped the sweat from our brows, looked at each other and laughed - it would have been a heck of a lot easier to just drag the darn canoe up that sandbank, without the gizmo!
