I have had the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival on my to do list since we first started growing garlic several years ago 🧄 It was worth the 6 hour drive in the rain because it did not disappoint!! I had so much fun seeing how creative you can get with the very versatile stinking rose!! I can’t wait to get back to Walhalla Farm & start experimenting with a few ideas. #outlawgarlic #agventureswithdianne #walhallafarm #garlicfarmher #needsmoregarlic
A beautiful night for a monuments by moonlight tour of DC. I never get over sick of introducing & sharing with groups why I love living here & having access to all of these wonderful places to explore!! #dccool #dcwithdianne #explore
It’s always tough at the end of an epic trip to say the “g” word so…until we meet again Lloyd Lake Lodge 🎣🇨🇦🛶🌊☀️ #exploresask #untilwemeetagain #saskwithdianne #lloydlakelodge
Johnny Cash once told Tom Petty, “You’re a good man to ride the river with” & I can now relate because I was fortunate to ride the Saskatchewan rivers & lakes with some really good men (& women but they deserve their own post): James (FAM trip bestie, fishing coach extraordinaire, medic, humor creator & boat rhythm technician), Henry, Reverse & Ivan (Dene guides/experts at handling ALL the things, danger navigators & shore lunch masters) & Matt (hot tub/cold plunge buddy, camera consultant, medic & visual storyteller) Thank You!! My first fishing trip was truly one for the books & it was mainly because ya’ll were so wonderful to be on the river with, especially when I needed you most. I hope to see you good men on the river again saying “fish on” with good food, good music & good energy 🎣🌊🇨🇦☀️🛶 #exploresask #prairieanglingfam #anglingwithdianne #lloydlakelodge #saskwithdianne #ridetheriver #goodmen #fishon #tightlines #yeahhhhh
Our journey from Langley Lake back to Lloyd Lake included @duguidoutdoors piloting a drone while Ivan piloted the Polaris & the rest of us enjoying the ride. #exploresask #saskwithdianne #prairieanglingfam #drone #lakelife 🎣🇨🇦🛶🌊☀️
Shore lunch is quite the treat after you have been fishing all morning for your lunch. Lloyd Lake Lodge co-owner Chef Derrick & our very talented guides Reverse, Ivan & Henry prepared this amazing meal right on the shore over a fire. This was some of the best fried fish & cowboy beans I’ve ever had!! It seems to taste better when you catch it…never mind the secret ingredient that Reverse shared with me to make the fish so crispy 😉🧈🎣🔥 #exploresask #shorelunch #lakeliving #lloydlakelodge #anglingwithdianne #saskwithdianne
The first night of after dinner fishing was sooo much fun!! Glad I had Henry (our amazing guide) & James (my FAM bestie) there to coach me & model how addicting this sport can be 💙 #exploresask #lloydlakelodge #prairieanglingfam #afterdinnerfishing #getintheboat #fishon #tightlines #anglingwithdianne #saskwithdianne
Our first dinner at Lloyd Lake Lodge with Chef Derrick was so unexpected!! Not your typical remote fishing lodge food with color changing scallop fun, off the chain osso buco & binge worthy butter cake. Delicious 😋 #exploresask #dinnerwithderrick #lakelife #lloydlakelodge #prairieanglingFAM #saskwithdianne
Our last morning in Saskatoon & I enjoyed a little walk around the neighborhood before jetting off to the next portion of our adventure. I will definitely make it back here!! #exploresask #exploresaskatoon #takeawalk #saskwithdianne
During our visit to @wanuskewin Heritage Park with @tourismsask we had the opportunity to witness the talents of Lawrence Roy, a member of Little Pine First Nation. He has been hoop dancing since elementary school & he now dances with 30 hoops! Lawrence says it keeps him in shape & healthy with a little help from the Wanuskewin peach tea. It was mesmerizing to watch him contort his body to the rhythm & he exuded such joy in his dancing, storytelling & teaching. If you have an opportunity to see Lawrence perform, definitely take the time to watch him transition into various forms with his hoops!! #hoopdancer #mesmerizing #wanuskewin #culturalheritage #indigenoustourism #exploresask #exploresaskatoon #saskwithdianne
I am so grateful I have the opportunity to participate with @tourismsask on a truly epic FAM through one of my new favorite destinations: Saskatchewan. Brenda, our @remaimodern docent was phenomenal at taking many years of art history & summarizing it into a short tour of the amazing galleries. She conveys such passion for her expertise & she was the perfect leader for our morning modern art experience. She even helped make our souvenir buttons while we were snacking on some delicious eats by @hearth.restaurant 🖼️ 🎨 If you are in Saskatoon, I highly recommend a visit to Remai Modern in the River Landing neighborhood in the heart of downtown. #exploresask #exploresaskatoon #remaimodern #saskwithdianne
Relationship building is one of the main reasons I go back to Adventure Elevate year after year…these are just a few of the relationships that were strengthened on the first full conference day together in Asheville. #ashevillewithdianne #visitasheville #aenorthamerica24 #attacommunity #relationshipbuilding
