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 [...]

It was a great weekend, it was cold, it was wet, it was windy and I vowed momentarily not to camp again until next summer, but it was a total hoot! I had been in correspondence with Mike Burns who had provided me with a huge amount of advice and information regarding my recent solo trip to Killarney. I had met Mike at the 150 through another friend Derek, from Paddling Adventures Radio, a podcast [...]

Ever since my first trip with Kevin Callan, The Happy Camper, in June of this year, there has been a challenge set forth for Kevin the (mostly) canoeist to go on a kayaking trip with me. Our second trip over the Canada 150 long weekend, brought us canoeing once again, but I was promised a kayaking trip at some point and I was going to make sure it happened, no matter how short or the location.

Have you ever wanted to climb a wall of ice? For me the answer is "ABSOLUTELY!" A few months ago I went on a waterfall trip to see some frozen waterfalls in the Hamilton area. Tiffany Falls, a gorgeous sight frozen was my favourite of the three I visited that day. Upon doing research for the blog post, I discovered that people actually climb it in the winter. WHAT? For real? How cool is [...]
