I had been go go go and I needed a bit of a break. I, of course, didn't want to stay home though, so I planned a quick trip to one of my favorite areas, the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails. I found a site on a lake called East Paint Lake that was all by itself. To get there I just needed to do a short paddle and an 823m portage. Easy peasy! Booked it [...]

In my last post, part 1 of 2, Worst Site, Best Site, I had just said goodnight on a beautiful campsite on Georgian Bay. The weather had been gloomy the last 2 days and I was hoping to rise early to some sunshine. Let's see if my wish came true? It was Sunday morning, day 3 of my 4 day, 3 night solo kayak trip on the French River and I woke to a very [...]

I had planned to do nothing last weekend... the key word there is planned. LOL. I have been out doing something every weekend for as long as I can remember and have not slept in my own bed on a weekend in , well, I can't actually remember. I had decided to spend the day Saturday fishing with my dad. He was going to drive up to my place and then we would head to [...]

I had not been fishing with my dad since I was about 5 or so when I lost my plastic fishing rod to Greenbough Lake. It was a traumatic experience for me and I was heartbroken. I loved that little plastic fishing rod and the cute colored fish that came with it. With no other options, I went back into the bow of the boat with my coloring book and wrote off fishing for many [...]

My first solo backcountry trip was 2 years ago at the Massasauga Provincial Park. It was by kayak and since then I've done many solo kayaking trips and a few solo winter camping trips both by tipi and by tent. I had never gone on a solo canoe trip, however, until this past weekend. At the 150 for 150 event on Canoe Lake the weekend before Canada Day, Jon from Backcountry Custom Canoes answered my [...]
