I do this every year. Disappearing for four days in early fall. And yet, my partner, the lovely and talented Irene Jansen, puts up with me. I am a lucky man. Year five of the Martin and Chris trips. This time including Algonquin Park’s longest portage and an awesome family camping spot in Algonquin’s south end.

Sounds like a fabulous adventure. Brings back memories of canoe trips with you at Ponacka.
OMG. Great to hear from you! Wow. How’ve you been? Thanks for writing. I have to say I like the gear you trip with these days a lot better than those wooden boxes and canvas packs.
