Since moving to Muskoka, I had been hearing about this place called Torrance Barrens Trails and Dark Sky Reserve. I knew it was a great place to go for night viewing of stars, meteor showers, etc, but had no idea that there were hiking trails there as well. My dear friend Nicole came to visit me in Port Carling. I was so happy she was here with me and we decided to go for a [...]

Since my very first backcountry trip in 2001 I have been carrying a compass in my backpack on every single trip I go on. You would think that would make me smart, but the reality is, I have never learned how to use a compass. I was never in girl guides or scouts or brownies or participated in any type of class or course to show me how to use this amazing instrument. I have [...]

I have always wanted to go to Killbear Provincial Park. Last year I tried out 7 new Ontario Parks and loved almost every one of them. This year, the first on my list to try was Killbear! I went to the Ontario Parks Website and checked out the campground and found some sites that looked great! I contacted my friend Steph to see if she was in for doing a May 2-4 trip and she was [...]
