Friends of Temagami, Earthroots and no doubt a bunch of other organizations and individuals are trying to pressure the Ontario government to take Wolf Lake in the Chiniguchi waterway off the table for mining and logging.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2012/01/18/wolf-lake-wednesday/feed/ 1 http://cmkl.ca/2011/09/26/where%e2%80%99s-the-peak-of-silver-peak/ http://cmkl.ca/2011/09/26/where%e2%80%99s-the-peak-of-silver-peak/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:34:56 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=1806 Someone posted a comment on my recent trip report wondering where indeed is the highest point in Silver Peak. Apparently there used to be a fire tower on top of it? And the tower footings mark the highest point. At the end of the Silver Peak trail section there are some concrete footings. I’m not sure they’re from a fire tower - they don’t seem far enough apart, compared to those still around at Maple Mountain and Ishpatina Ridge. But they’re for some kind of tower. One is visible in this photo.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2011/09/26/where%e2%80%99s-the-peak-of-silver-peak/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2011/09/23/killarney-park-to-silver-peak-and-back-via-three-narrows/ http://cmkl.ca/2011/09/23/killarney-park-to-silver-peak-and-back-via-three-narrows/#comments Fri, 23 Sep 2011 04:14:30 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=1794 I have posted my usual report on the canoe trip my friend Martin and I took last weekend. This year we went to Killarney Park. Martin had never been so I had to take him 'round to show him the sites. The trip did not disappoint.

I'm looking into the causes and the solutions.

We're going to Killarney Park this time. Something of a re-do of trips I've done before, but we're going through some terrain I've never seen and Killarney is so beautiful I could go there a million times and not be bored of it.]]> http://cmkl.ca/2011/08/10/as-kid-focused-and-limited-as-it-was/feed/ 0 http://cmkl.ca/2011/08/09/frontenac-park-site-cluster-5/ http://cmkl.ca/2011/08/09/frontenac-park-site-cluster-5/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:19:06 +0000 cmkl http://cmkl.ca/?p=1644 We're back from three nights and four days at Frontenac Park.
