Committee’s Punch Bowl
****
The Committee’s Punch Bowl is a geological marvel in Western Canada. It is a small basin of water that straddles two provinces and empties eventually into not one, but two oceans (The Arctic Ocean from its north side and The Pacific Ocean from its south).
This basin also marks the middle of the Continental Divide. The original Committee of the Hudson Bay Company trade route encouraged travelers to this spot, to drink a toast (initially, of water; now of rum) to commemorate their visit to this natural wonder.

It is very remote. Only highly skilled elite trekkers can travel the arduous journey to get there. Nature is fabulous.

To say that it is remote, would be an understatement. Also, it requires serious trekking skills in portaging, and in navigating rough white waters to get there.
Nature is amazing.

Such a classic natural vessel
Filled with buckets and buckets
Of heavens booze and punch.
Looks like a super place to getaway and get together
Celebrating the reason for this natural wonder
Serving both sides –
Amazing, the plans of the Great Sculptor,
Crystal clear
in defining haiku.

The ‘Committee’s Punch Bowl’. Sounds like Mr. George Simpson really, really, wanted a good drink of booze.
Nice haiku!
