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 #3: A Fall Trip to Algonquin to Close Out the Season

Image
The weekend after Thanksgiving, as the weather was starting to get chilly, Michelle and I, once again, decided to load up our gear and head out for one final canoe trip before the season ended. We got together mid-day on Friday, October 12th, planning to head up to Rain Lake in Algonquin and follow a route involving 8 different lakes and lots of portaging. By the time we got to Rain Lake, after turning around once for forgotten paddles and a mishap with getting our permit from an office that was supposed to have been closed but wasn't,  Michelle and I arrived at the lake by around 4pm (much later than we had planned, but what can you do). We quickly unloaded the vehicle and loaded up the canoe at the dock before setting out on the lake, trying to get as far as we could in daylight. We decided to stick to our original plan of camping on Casey Lake for the first night, despite our delays. As we progressed through Rain Lake, the sun began getting lower and lower. We had enough dayl...

Adventure #8: Winter Cabin Camping in Kearney

Image
As winter seems to keep droning on, I found myself needing an escape from everyday life to tide me over until the weather warms and I can make it back out in my canoe. So, I decided to book a cabin with my boyfriend Jeff from February 15th-17th, for the family day long weekend. We ended up finding a great little cabin up in Kearney that we booked off of Airbnb. With no cell service and acres upon acres of land to explore, Jeff and I were really looking forward to our winter escape! Waking up fairly early on Saturday morning, Jeff and I loaded up the vehicle, heading on our way to get our groceries first, and then making it to the cabin by noon. The cabin we chose, titled on Airbnb as the Cozy Creek-Side Cabin , came equipped with a fully-stocked kitchenette with a sink, stove, fridge, and microwave, as well as a woodstove, board games, movies, and music. Despite not having any indoor plumbing, the cabin was a lot fancier than the backcountry trips we were used to, which made for a ni...
