Descriptions of trips I’ve taken. Mostly self-propelled outdoor adventure variety
The Fugawi of the Adirondacks
There's this stupid joke that aboriginal peoples' original name for the Europeans was 'Fugawi' because everywhere they went they'd say "we're the fugawi!"
Har har har. On Saturday they were talking about me.
Today, my arms are criss-crossed by tiny scratches and welts that resemble some form of strange ritual scarring.
On Saturday I climbed my first Adirondacks high peak.
Touring Temagami: what I did on my summer holidays
Irene and I spent seven days in Temagami, a wilderness area six-ish hours' drive from Ottawa, about 100km north of North Bay. Read the trip report. Photos, prattle and information.
Lac Echo weekend
Irene and I went camping this weekend with Mike and Brenda. We went to Lac Echo in the Papineau Labelle wildlife preserve. Not a bad alternative to the usual Ottawa-area haunts. Obligatory trip report with photos.
Kiss the rock: Palmer Rapids again
I was at Palmer Rapids last weekend, learning more about whitewater paddling with the Y Canoe Camping Club. I've posted my report with pix in valid XHTML strict.
Algonquin Park terror
My first ever solo trip: four days through Algonquin Park. Beautiful weather, some hard work and absolute terror. Read all about it.
The North Boundary Loop
I just got back from the longest canoe trip I've ever done. Ten days, 109km and a couple dozen portages through Killarney Park, just south of Sudbury, in Ontario's Near North. Read the report.
