Adventures in the outdoors

Author: Susan Sheppard

Hello! I grew up in Newfoundland and after graduating university, moved to Ontario with my future hubby, and searched for that coveted career. After some part time jobs, I headed back to Newfoundland to complete my teaching degree and since then have been teaching science, math and outdoor education here in Ontario. I love the outdoors, I love teaching, and I am glad to have been able to combine both those things into my life. We have done lots of traveling around Canada and the Upper Eastern States, and I am looking forward to sharing my love for adventure with you. I have been blogging since 2010, but it has been very off and on. I am determined to share what I know, what I have learned, in hopes that I will inspire someone to get out there and explore. I know my son, who was born in 2008, has been having lots of fun with us and my wish is that he will also be able to share his experiences one day. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Here Fishy Fishy Fishy!

Summer is back?

The first two weeks back at work (I work in a school), all I could think about was camping.  Yes, I have gone out lots this year, but I wanted to go again.  Then I received another notification from Cruising Canoes that they were hosting a 2 day fishing trip to Puzzle Lake Provincial Park. I was in! It’s the perfect time frame for me.

The Points that Almost got Away

I have referenced the Paddle in the Park contest a couple of time in prior posts, but I feel that this story really does need to be shared.  (Don’t worry, I have more to share later)…
