North Tea Lake Part One (Video)

I created a Youtube video of part one (aka day one) of my recent trip to North Tea Lake in Algonquin. Michelle and I enjoyed the sandy beaches so much! It was like our very own tropical paradise!

Adventure #10: Eaten Alive on Herb Lake

Image
     As the weather warmed up, my brother asked if I would head out on a canoe trip with him and his girlfriend for her first-ever backcountry experience. Taking advantage of every opportunity to get into the backcountry this year, my answer, of course, was yes! Originally, the offer had been made to both my boyfriend Jeff and I; however, Jeff was unable to take the time off, leaving just the three of us to navigate an adequate route. My brother and I set to work a few weeks in advance to plan our trip, deciding on starting out at the Herb Lake Access Point in the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails. As Friday, June 26th -our scheduled departure date- neared, we filled our packs and food barrel, as well as loaded up the canoe and my kayak the night before to ensure we could leave bright and early to be on the water for as much of the weekend as possible. This trip was my first ever backcountry trip using my kayak instead of a canoe, and I was excited to test out how it woul...

Adventure #1: Adventures along the Tim River

Image
With the weather getting nicer and nicer, I felt as though it was time to take a little break from my work life and escape into the wilderness with my good friend Michelle . We decided on a two-day canoe trip up in Algonquin Park from Thursday, June 14th to the 15th. We began planning for the trip a week or so in advance as this was our first trip of the season together, and my first ever canoe camping trip. We woke up early Thursday morning to load our packs and gear into the vehicle, before strapping on the canoe, loading her dog Snoopi into the back seat, and heading on our way. After stopping at the permit office, we proceeded to our access point at Tim River- #2. After unloading the vehicle, we stopped to take a few photos before loading the canoe and beginning our adventure! The day was a little breezy and overcast at first, but the sun started shinning as the day went on. We began paddling our way through the first stretch of the Tim River, admiring the scenery as it opene...

Adventure #7: Getting Lost with Michelle on the Nunikani Lake Loop

Image
After many months of trying to find a time that would work for the two of us to get out together, Michelle and I finally found a weekend we were both available for a quick overnight trip to the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails. We decided on completing the Nunikani Lake Loop from October 5th-6th, 2019 as it seemed do-able considering how few trips we had done this year and how poor of shape we were in haha (canoe tripping is tiring, but so worth it!). We made it to the Big Hawk Lake access point and unloaded our gear, ready to set out by 10am. We were doing the loop counter-clockwise, as recommended by Kevin Callan, "The Happy Camper," meaning we were heading up the right arm of the lake, towards Clear Lake. Surprisingly, Big Hawk Lake was a relatively easy paddle with only a little bit of wind and waves. Although the morning started out with frost on the vehicle and canoe, the sun warmed us up, forcing us to lose some of our layers of clothing by the time we made it to t...
