I had intended to camp this weekend, but on Saturday morning, kayak on my car, camping gear packed and fully ready to go, I woke up feeling horrible. I had a sinus infection by the familiar feeling of it and felt nauseous and headachy. Going on a solo camping trip feeling like this, for me, wasn't a smart move and I knew I had to stay home. I spent the whole day resting and making [...]

I have been trying to get to the Tim River for a few months now, but time and other plans just wouldn't allow it. Well, to be completely honest, I attempted to go to the Tim the Sunday before, but after driving an hour to get there, I realized I had left my money at home, so I had to drive back home as I wouldn't have had enough gas to return all the way [...]

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CONTINUATION POST FROM Portaging a kayak-3x2 at Scorch Lake - Algonquin Park PART 1, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT POST! It had been a very long day yesterday, starting at 5am for me and earlier for Joyce. We had spent yesterday taking 9.5 hours to portage and paddle to get to our site on Scorch Lake, one that was clearly the worst site on the lake, even the privy was [...]

When my friend and fellow blogger Joyce asked me if I wanted to do a trip to Scorch Lake with her, I said yeah! When she told me there were 3 portages totaling over 3 km's, I said ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I mean, I paddle a kayak, not a canoe, and I have portaged my small kayak, but never that far. I suggested we rent a canoe, then I thought about it for the night. Then [...]

I have always wanted to get up to Brent in Algonquin but it was always way to far for me to go. Now that I live in Muskoka, the drive is the same as what I used to drive to get from Niagara to Hwy. 60 in Algonquin, 3.5 hours, so I figured it was time for a visit. I had made some plans to go camping with a friend that weekend but she got [...]

I had not camped in Algonquin Park since February when it was minus 42. It was time to change that. My roommate Molly had been asking me to take her on a backcountry trip with me since we'd met, and this is the weekend we decided on. As Molly has never backcountry camped previously, I didn't want to do anything too difficult, plus we only had 2 days and one night to spend somewhere. After [...]

When I decided to move to Port Carling and sell my home, I also decided to reward myself at some point, for how far I've come and for achieving some of the goals I have set for myself over the last year. It started out as a go pro, or something similar, then progressed to a solo canoe. I even went and tested one out! But after completing my level 2 sea kayaking course, I [...]

One year ago today, I posted my very first blog post ever! I have been camping for 2 decades and recording my experiences in various ways. One day, I thought, hey! why don't I just start a blog and share my experiences with other people. It would be amazing to have my adventures all in one place, not only for myself, but to share with others who were looking for information on the places I [...]
