Berry picking, blueberries, huckleberries, strawberries, saskatoons, sandcherries and rasberries
As my mother is over visiting I thought it might be a nice idea to take the canoe to Elk Island.
We packed the canoe on the roof of the Jeep and drove to the boat launch across from the island.
Now is also the perfect time to go blueberry picking and huckleberry picking along the Beaches of Lake Winnipeg.
Blueberries and Huckleberries are basically the same thing though some say the real Huckleberry has larger seeds, making it more difficult to eat.
They reported they had thought of chasing the Sasquatch, but were too unnerved by the sighting and even gave up their berry picking. The creature had really scared them, especially when they returned later with others and found a large, six-toed footprint.
We used to go blueberry picking on Elk Island and along Hwy 59, just south of the turnoff for Belair.
There is even a new phenomenom called ‘row rage’ that has pickers protecting their rows against others trying to sneek-pick berries from rows other than the ones they were assigned to. So far there haven’t been any real phyisikal fights, but apparently it got pretty close a few times.
