Spring on the Magnetawan

Friends from the Waterloo Wellington Canoe Club came up to the cottage for some canoeing. Kevin is an excellent canoeist and made my job in the bow easy, notwithstanding the canoe full of water that resulted on Sunday when I pulled us off line.

Winter in Killarney

The first week of March delivered fantastic winter camping conditions -- I spent four nights alone in the interior of Killarney Provincial Park. It was the first use of my new pulk a (sled connected with poles to a waist harness).

I had intended to follow the La Cloche Silhouette trail but as you can see in the photo, there wasn't a lot of snow, especially on sun exposed sections. I essentially followed a canoe route around a couple lakes and did a couple day hikes. The weather was fantastic! One afternoon I came back from a walk up to Silver Peak and sat on the rock in the background of the photo in bare feet for over half an hour.
