5 days in Algonquin Park - Other Adventure 1

Just thought I would post an update.

My last Bruce Trail hike was on Fathers Day. As expected with a busy summer I didn't get out for any hikes at least on the Bruce Trail.

Highlight of the summer was 4 nights/5 days back country canoeing/camping with my 2 sons in Algonquin Park. What a very tough but wonderful trip. Beautiful scenery and campsites but lots of canoeing and some very long portages. How about a 45 pound canoe, two 30-40 pound backpacks, a 35 pound food barrel and other small items on portages ranging from 50 meters to the grand daddy portage of 2.3 kilometers. My sons and I figured that was one of the toughest things we had ever done! Did I mention mosquitoes - clouds of them!!

Tough trip but it felt great to have beaten the challenge.

Here a few memorable shots from the Algonquin trip.
















I'm hoping to get back out on the Bruce shortly maybe this Sunday, so hopefully you will see a new post soon!
