Here is where I left off in Part 1, on a non site on Great Mountain Lake in 39 km wind gusts....... As I sat listening to the wind howling, I looked up and once again noticed the brightly lit up globe in the sky in front of me. I didn't make the effort to go to the waterfront to take a photo but just snapped one from where I was sitting inside my tent. [...]

With another long weekend fast approaching, it was time to devise a new plan. A 5 day solo canoe trip was in order and I wanted it to be as awesome as my Algonquin trip had been. It would be hard to surpass but I believed I had the groundwork for another epic journey! After many nights of planning and consulting a few people who knew the area, making revisions and calculating kilometers and portage [...]

I woke up Sunday with no plans at all. Such an odd thing for me! I have been striving to find some small rivers and creeks to paddle in since moving to Port Carling. It's been a hard search as most of the lakes in my area are very big and full of motor boats and cottages. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I like to paddle on calm small waters, still [...]

Last year I had received a kayak cart as a regift from someone but the tires were flat so I'd never used it. A few months ago, I had my truck in for service and had my mechanic fixed the tires, so it was now ready to [...]
