Cedar Lake: ready to go: The gear. The lake. Adventure ho.

Setting out at Brent: Buddy had to launch his boat, just as the little red light on the camera started flashing. Cedar Lake.

Well, how did I get here? At the portage from Cedar to the Petawawa River. Lost with the car still in sight. How does that happen?

Gotta keep moving but... Pretty Falls. Petawawa River

Bye by portage: Petawawa River, looking back fondly on another long portage that I will never have to see again.

Wooden teeth: Log teeth across the Petawawa. What were they supposed to do?

Oh happy orange square: The Kevin Callan-approved site on Catfish Lake.

Yay shoes: Shoes drying from their first day of "wet exits." If they got sun from 2pm onward they would be dry by sundown. Gotta like that.

Luxury item #12: A second pair of footwear, happily installed on Catfish Lake. The only time I walked around barefoot I stubbed my toe badly. So I'll take the weight.

Sunset, Catfish Lake: This is why I do this.

Moonrise, Catfish Lake: You can get these shots in September. No bugs.

Self-portrait: In a slightly better mood now.

Frosted plants: Most mornings it was cold enough to see your breath. Saturday morning you could see frosted leaves.

Morning, Catfish Lake: Heavily fogged. Serene, beatiful. Cue the wind.

Catfish Lake: Near where the Petawawa flows into the lake.

Burntroot Lake: Almost no photographing all morning. Too windy to even contemplate a photo op.

Burntroot Panorama: Photoshop Elements does this automagically. Think it's worth the bucks?

Natural orgami: Burntroot Lake

Burntroot Lake: I got a lot of pictures of this island.

Sunset on Burntroot Lake: What a fortunate person I am to be sitting on a lake shore witnessing this spectacle.

Nippissing River: kilometre something

Dragonfly: Nippissing River. It just went on and on and on.

At least there were moose: This one was quite the ham. "Get my good side."

Nippissing River: Huge trees. Big excitement.

Nippissing River: Oh - wouldn't you know it. The river turns again.

Plum Creek Junction: This is what they call this part of the Nippissing River to distinguish it from that vast expanse of nothing just upstream.

More moose: Just upstream from where I ended up camped.

Nippissing River: Prince Ozzie at rest on the beach

It doesn't look like much: But it were a 'ome to us.

Cute catepillar: Okay it's just a bug, but at least it wasn't trying to eat me or my food.

Morning, Nippissing River: I could forgive the wolf serenade just for the dew-drenched spiderweb.

Morning, Nippissing River: Definitely the wild part of the park.

Heading toward Cedar: If only I could have had some river mist yesterday.

Portage self-portrait: It's late enough in the trip that I would even contemplate stopping for a photo op while fully loaded.

Cedar Lake Panorama: Calm, serene. Sad to leave.

The Brent Crater: Pretty valley. Right. That's enough of that then. What kind of ice cream am I going to get this time?

Nippissing River Panorama: Near Plumb Creek.
